Venezuelan National Champion Manuel Medina heads the field into the first race of the season. British Airways' new signing will face competition from another local rider, Champion's Jose Chacon. A 3rd Venezuelan in with a shout is IrnBru's Richard Ochoa Quintero.
The strongest team in the race is definately Fed-Ex, with Oscar Sevilla, Tom Danielson, Levi Leipheimer, Egoi Martinez and Santiago Botero all here.
Other contenders are: Florentino Marquez (Benfica), Jorge Ferrio (Gatorade), Pablo Perez Marquez (Nippo), Saul Raisin (Slipstream), Konstantin Siutsou (White Bear Steyr)
There are not a lot of sprinters racing here, Lorenzetto (Nippo) could have an easy time at it - unless the B Team riders can have an impact.

They have a strong team, but not any top favourites, except for Danielson, but he's not a Venezuelan

I just hope Perez Marquez will end in the top 10 and that Lorenzetto and Di Nucci can win most of the sprints

Yeah I don't expect too much. Only a win in every stage and all the jerseys.

I now look at who i've sent... Astarloza plus 6 domestiques... right. Well lets hope he doesn't crash out. So no sprints for me, just a top 10 mountain finish if im lucky. B)

I have a pretty solid all around team. Not to long before we get the results of the 1st stage.

I think Tom Danielson will take it though, but I'm not sure whether Medina has home rider bonus.

He does have a bonus. We are in Venezuela.
