Vuelta 2012 Wildcards

[Fetisoff]

I actually voted Argos, Andalucia, Caja, Cofidis. Somewhat disappointed at the first two though. I guess Andalucian government is still sponsoring the race...

argos should not be in the race. the vuelta is a climbers race this year and argos sprinters already do the tour. the rest of the team sucks

The 4 wildcards for the 2012 Vuelta are known now :
With not much surprise, the 4 teams are :

Andalucia (Esp)
Caja Rural (Esp)
Cofidis, le crédit en ligne (Fra)
Team Argos – Shimano (Hol)

For Caja Rural, Cofidis and Argos, it was expected. I guess it was a close call between Andalucia and Europcar, confirmed by the results of the poll.

I don't think so at all. the vuelta have no interest in inviting europcar.

honeslty that doesn't impress me at all. spanish elite racing is at a VERY low level currently and it's been for the past years. landa is a good talent but nothing exceptional either like anton was. remind me maybe a bit of intaxusti who hasn't broken through yet either.

ok, i disagree, i think both are gonna be great, sure Bravos ceiling lower than Landas, but still i think he can develop into a very decent rider, time will tell i guess
