I reckon Cataldo and Kiryienka are likely to be there for sky as well. JTL mentioned the vuelta as a possibility earlier in the season and Eisel may also be in with a shout after being unlucky to miss the TdF.

Also Zandio, Rowe and perhaps Puccio but I'll wait to see something in writing before adding them to the pre-selection list.

I doubt that JTL will be included considering that he was not named in any of Sky's pre-Vuelta stage races (Poland, Burgos, Eneco). I think Sky need to include at least one Brit, probably Rowe, who might well be the only Brit in the entire race!

Thanks. When I did this for the Tour, it upset some people when I bolded riders before they'd officially been confirmed as starters. What do you think is the best option? Wait until the team names the full nine-man official line-up or do it now?

I think you're right about Zandio and JTL as he probably suits the tour of britain better.

I think Movistar will be something like this: Valverde, Capecchi, Intxausti, José Herrada (he's the spanish RR champion), Erviti, Karpets / Gutiérrez, Lastras, Moreno and Visconti.

But I also hope Madrazo is included. ¿Maybe Lastras to old for two GTs?

Only the first three are more or less confirmed.

That was his younger brother Jesus. And if only one of the two brothers goes to La Vuelta, it'll be him.

Sadly enough Movistar would be better off by leaving out Gutierrez, who seems to have passed his best years to put it mildly. Karpets as well....
