Caruut said:To fall off the podium he needs to lose over 4 minutes to Froome - pretty sure that's not gonna happen.
SafeBet said:Agree.
Even if he attacks say 60 kms from the frinish in the Bola del Mundo stage he's not gonna lose the podium.
There's a slight chance he loses second place, in case of a crazy long range attack. But podium, no way.

sartoris said:i voted for alberto. Although purito is in the shape of his life, contador attacking spirit is not going to fade away and i can see him a little bit stronger everyday. Purito can crack or have a bad day. The difference between them two is minimal. Plenty of terrain to turn the race upside down.
luving the vuelta !!!

hfer07 said:Purito is set to win the Vuelta-but as he said, he only needs a bad day and is over. OTOH I will not be disappointed at all if Alberto does not win it, because he has given everything & made the race so exciting to watch, that his podium place would look to me as an overall victory for his awaited return
As far as who would I like to win......hmmmm....This choice between those two is difficult for me, because I like them both a lot-Alberto for obvious reasons, but Purito too has that breed of class & toughness that make him an amazing rider-I've followed his career since the Caisse days, & always thought he needed to go alone & get his own glory elsewhere. He did & now he's set to get that GC title he was lacking...
