Great story, but how do you get 'one texture a rider'? (as seem to be able to according the numbers) |

Ok now mads now its obvious you dont have two things:
1. Enough cash
2. Not enough mountain helpers
so heres my solution. Here are the list of decent mountain helpers that i would certainly consider:
-Manuel Beltran
-Juanma Garate
-Josep Jufre
-David Canada
-Oscar Sevilla
Now i know these guys arnt young talents infact most are very old, but your not in the position to be picky, guys like garate would be very useful for the mountains and you should certainly consider them

I'm looking at all of them  One thing will happen, the money will decide in the end. Who will give up what riders for what money, and what sort of salary are they wanting.
Stage 2 coming up |

Vuelta a Espana - Stage 2
The first of 3 flat stages. Koldo Fernandez has not been his usual self this year and we're hoping his homecountry will motivate him a little.
Aramendia went with the break today, just him and 2 companions to start out.
He took the only KoM sprint today and we'll have a jersey tomorrow.
With 72km to go Gutierrez goes on the chase alone. He's powering forward but the peleton follow close behind.
Astana work down the lead and now have both groups within sight.
At 31.6km its all over. It'll be a bunch sprint. Koldo Fernandez is having an excellent day. Seems like the spanish soil has motivated him a little.
6km and Fernandez has found the wheel of spanish champion Oscar Freire.
This should be ideal!
2800m and Freire weaves in and out between riders. Fernandez loses his wheel!
Finding himself with open road ahead and feeling good he decides to just go!
And with 900m to go Fernandez is side by side with Wrölich, but he's slowing down!
Fernandez could take this! Meanwhile there's a big crash in the back of the peleton!
And he will! Fernandez leads by one length with a 100m to go!
YES! Fernandez takes it. 2 jerseys for Euskaltel tomorrow!
And look who crashed! Klöden and Sastre side by side. They'll take a hit of 2 minutes on the first stage!

no gesink or dekker! i dont think top3 is out of the picture at all acually. how much boost did you get from the mountain camp? contador valverde sastre will be hard but menchov leipheimer klöden and evans and i hope popo has to be dead tired, ricco cant peakform in two gc's? cunego? i'd say if you got boost to about 80 in mountain this could be VERY interesting, almost more fun than the tour  |
