Libertine Seguros said:What, like Leipheimer and Arriagada? It's January, South American guys are in form, Euro teams are not, Diaz will have based his year around this race, sure there's some shadiness, but that's part and parcel of the racing there.
Ryo Hazuki said:to diaz credit he absolutely tore up the spanish elite/u23 scene when he rode there in 2011 and was offered a wt contract by geox until that team folded. also he comes from salta which is very high altitude and he rode and won a lot in bolivia was a youngster too

Mayomaniac said:Is he form Ciudad de Salta or form another small town in Provincia de Salta?
I wouldn't consider Salta very high altitude, 1187 m is nothing special.

Better than last year.
Libertine Seguros said:I'm well aware of the reputation of South American cycling.
I was taking more exception to your singling Díaz out among the former winners of this race. Arriagada was busted not long afterwards and Leipheimer is Leipheimer.

argyllflyer said:Yes, but still not fit for full TV broadcast which is a shame as there is interesting racing going on.
Mayomaniac said:They should get a wildcard for the Vuelta, that would be awesome.
