Landa and Quintana seem about equal if they both stay away from crashesSalvarani said:I hope Landa has a good race. He is their best shot I think at winning.
One domestique per leader sounds like a brilliant plan. I’m surprised Unzue didn’t think of it in time for the Tour.tobydawq said:Is Carapaz also riding?

Didn't he try it with Valverde for Quintana and Soler for Landa? Worked out just as good as the double leadership!Zinoviev Letter said:One domestique per leader sounds like a brilliant plan. I’m surprised Unzue didn’t think of it in time for the Tour.tobydawq said:Is Carapaz also riding?

If Carapaz is riding - which I don't think so, lets wait and see - he obviously won't be targetting the GC. Carapaz is much more of a natural climber than Soler, but expect him to be is kinda the same role. It depends on how good of a shape riders like Anacona, Betancur, Fernandez etc. are in. At least I don't think it was the plan for Carapaz to ride two GTs, but he is actually already 25 and he might be their best mountain domestique. Poland and Burgos will tell a lot.Zinoviev Letter said:One domestique per leader sounds like a brilliant plan.

Fernandez is injured again. Some crash in training right before the Tour that ended up with him in the hospital.Valv.Piti said:If Carapaz is riding - which I don't think so, lets wait and see - he obviously won't be targetting the GC.

Link? Would be nice to see him againKoronin said:Yes. That seems to be official.tobydawq said:Is Carapaz also riding?

I saw it late last night in one of the Spanish groups I'm in that someone had posted something about Carapaz likely going. However, as we know, Movistar won't release an official line up until the weekend before the Vuelta. I'll post it if I can find it again.Valv.Piti said:Link?

Moviestar said:Carapaz will be there i think. He started in Getxo and will be the leader in Poland. Slowly building towards a peak.
Strangely no information on Betancur, he mentioned after the Giro that he would be back on track in Poland but he is absent on the startlist. Apparently the barbecues and fiestas are calling him in Colombia![]()
obviously, because he is not ridingOliver said:Valverde is removed from de cyclingfever startlist for San Sebastian? Why?

Because he's not racing. He went on vacation right after the Tour ended. I also have the impression he doesn't intend on showing up to the Vuelta is much better shape that he showed up to the Tour in. Hope I'm wrong on that, because I do think if he wants to win the Worlds he needs to be a lot closer to being in off form than just race shape at the start of the Vuelta.Oliver said:Valverde is removed from de cyclingfever startlist for San Sebastian?

For some reason Landa is heading the team for San Sebastian. Why, no clue as he's not proven he can do one day races. Where exactly Betancur is is a great question.
