So... if Contador manages to win the Vuelta this year (which wouldn't be a huge suprise)... do you think he'll enter the Giro at some point over the next 5 years or so to try to get all three?
Judging from previous history, most have no interest, but I have no idea if Contador would have an interest. it would probably conflict with his Tour preparations.

yeah, Mauri was dominant in the time trials, winning time on IndurĂ¡in, and holding on in the mountains. he ended up winning after the queen stage was cancelled due to snow.
The spanish wikipedia has a pretty decent "highlights" text of each Vuelta. Nothing comparable to Torelli's Tour de France history (Torelli wrote a pretty big text on each Tour since the very first one until 1999), but still nothing to sneeze at

Kurt asked what everyone thought of Contador possibly doing the Giro since he's won the Tour and will probably win the Vuelta.

If an invitation has been offered and accepted... could ASO just "uninvite" Astana? I figured with them being invited it was a "done deal" so to speak.
