yea, a little unfair perhaps. Add J-Rod and Valverde along with the odd Colombian and we may have a nice late season battle.
Edit: I see Wiggo not going. Oh well.

Haha I think it depends how Froom performs in the Tour, if Froom lost the Tour. Wiggins can use Vuelta to beat Froom again, putting more salts on the wounds. I can imagine British public will be overwhelming to support Wiggins' leadership for next year Tour.

Perhaps the casual British cycling follower yes, however don't paint everyone with the same brush just like I would not stereotype every American to be fat and in love with cheeseburgers.
I like Froome and never want him to play 2nd best to Wiggo again. I hope Nibali can compete in next years Tour against Froome, Contador, Purito and the younger riders coming through so we can have a great battle.
they really deserve some relaxing and partying after those terrible conditions in giro. looks like they're enjoying it
Yet another prediction that came through.
Nibali to ride 2013 Vuelta to win it.
Vinokourov: "el objetivo en la Vuelta no será otro que la victoria de Nibali"

Frank Schleck, Agnoli and a Tira that will hit peak form (sick in the giro as we remember) this will be an easy match against some wannabe Spaniards

If he's going ftw seriously it will be an easy win. But I thought he was going to race it only as a warm up for the Worlds.
Glad he's not banking his money on a one day race, that'll be silly stoopid!Eshnar said:If he's going ftw seriously it will be an easy win. But I thought he was going to race it only as a warm up for the Worlds.

well, yes. But I'll believe it when I see him crushing the field up to Penas Blancascineteq said:

Sounds excellent.
Henao/Uran
Betancur?
Majka/CAS maybe others if Saxo fails in the tour
J-Rod?
Valverde?
Could be a competitive lineup.
I'm glad Nibali doesn't care about Bettini's strategy of riding the Vuelta as a stage hunter. Considering Nibali's awesome sprint, that would probably have ended well. Come on Nibali, let's get the first double!
[Considering Froome's dominance in the Tour, he'll probably face Valverde, Rodriguez and COntador trying to save their seasons ]

Be hard to top last year's Vuelta but should still be a good race. The last two have been very good.

Indeed, it could turn out to be a darned cracking race again

I don't know, anyone competitive in the Tour probably will not be competitive in the Vuelta.
Nice! Nibbles gonna kill everyone in Spain. Not sure that it will endanger his worlds chances too much, he can still build form and go for the win I think. Worlds is just a one day after all. Plus it would be just awesome if he was able to win the Vuelta + worlds.
TA, Trentino, Giro, Vuelta, Worlds, and Lombardia in a signal season. Legend! _O_
