Moncoutié is still uncertain. He'll decide once he's finished the Tour de l'Ain.
Many riders will be starving to score some Pro Tour points (with the new UCI regulation about it), which explains the relatively strong line ups. |

I think Menchov is in theory the best out of these guys for a three week tour, but he has this habit of screwing GTs up 50% of the time... I'd still pick him for the win.
I really can't pick between the others, they're all so talented. But I hope Brajkovic and Wiggins will be up there. |

the third week isn't very hard. The second week with Angliru, Farrapona and ITT (47kms) will be the key |

Nibali won the Vuelta last year. 
My prediction is that if Anton is in the same form he was last year, he'll win. Hopefully he can do a Vuelta in topform and not crash for once.
