Rafal Majka for the win. He's been getting in super shape training on stelvio. I hope also to see Manuele, Nicki and Chris sufferface at the start.

This is going to be a Colombian parade. Bentancur, Henao and Uran are all punchy climbers prone to get boni's on the uphill sprints and they are also strong climbers who can won't lose time in the real mountain stages. Unless Nibali pulls a Fuente De and they miss the boat.

Is Sky gonna go for Uran or Henao?

I think the plan was to go for Henao. And considering Uran will leave Sky (which Sky foresaw) I don't see that changing.

Valverde and Purito will ride Vuelta 100%.Also probably Pozzovivo will start.Konig can be a factor in this race.Maybe top 10?From RadiShack Horner is sure.

Horner for a podium. Anyway, so it is going to be another race for secretly hoping the doctor to do well while thinking he will have an accident in every stage. lol

What about Betancur?
Is he training in Colombia like Quintana was before the tour?
Originally with this course Betancur was my big favorite as he is a punchy climber, but he hasn't raced for a long time now. So actually I have no clue what will be his shape.

I was surprised he didn't do Burgos.

On a level playing field, betancur would have a good chance. Unfortunately in this vuelta some riders are going to be given a massive headstart over betancur.

I noticed sometimes Bartoli and another pro rider (forgot the name) friendly joking about Betancur dissapearing from time to time.
I guess he's back in Colombia.

Surely he should be able to claw back that minute with time bonuses.
