I Think Andy will win, 53 seconds can be enough.

Go Oliveira!!

But this has nothing to do with nationality, I mean that spanish teams are not going to help Mosquera just because he's spanish. They could help him or help Nibali, it depends on who needs it and who is willing to pay. But I don't expect anything of that.

Murilo Fischer for the Continental Team? I thought this team was to develop young talents.

If they don't habe personal goals they'll probably look for economic goals.

Well, David Garcia is very fit and he can help Mosquera in the Mountains. I didn't speak about him because it's obvious he's strong. But only him and maybe Rabuñal, who is doing quite well too in the climbs. But one important thing about Garcia. How many times have you seen him working for...

This is professional cycling, teams are competing in a race and they're not going to help one rider only due to his nationality.

Liquigas is stronger, Veloso is a time trialist and he's not very strong this year. Marcos García is the only climber of Xacobeo, apart from Mosquera, but he's in his first Vuelta and he's not doing very well. I think the GC means nothing, if Xacobeo riders are better classified is because...

Maybe Farrar but I think the level is not very high.

The max percentage in cotobello is 10% while in Bola del Mundo is 20%, so you can´t compare these two climbs. And I don't think Cabarga is so short, i believe it is about 6 km. Navacerrada is not a hard climb, it is difficult to drop someone who's drafting you, so I think that only the last...

Subida a Urkiola but was cancelled this year because of the budget.

I think Nibali will win because he can climb better than Mosquera in mountains with high percentages like the Bola del Mundo. He already proved it finishing ahead of Mosquera in Xorret de Cati, Valdepeñas and Cabarga. Besides, Mosquera would need the bonus and I can't see him getting it...

I don´t understand Cervelo movement, maybe Sastre is just looking for attention

That is the problem, the organisers are allways changing the jerseys, classifications (the "combinada" classification, WTF is that?)...

I hope Xacobeo make a good TT.
