Not really. I don't think Poland is optimal Vuelta warm-up.

so far we have:

Froome
Nairo & Dayer Quintana
Purito
Aru
Uran
Costa?
Horner
Valverde

Nibali found decent form after riding it last year. His base form wasn't good enough to last whole Vuelta, but compared to tour of Poland form he was excellent. Hope Aru top 10 the hardest stage, and takes it easy the rest.

Pozzovivo will ride the vuelta, he aims for a podium spot

Probably Dani Moreno,Betancur,Chaves,Luis Leon Sanchez(not a GC rider but stiil a good rider),S.Sanchez&Cadel Evans,Landa,Kiserlovski,Barguil,Gesink,Monfort and Wout Poels.Probably I missed some names...

Edit : Adam Yates,maybe Cannondale combo Formolo/Villella,Dan Martin,Hesjedal(not sure)

Also Gilbert will participate.Also I suspect riders like Cavendish,Bouhanni,Degenkolb,Tony Martin,Stybar and Cancellara to be at the start.

I think he'd have been better if he had skipped Poland. It also didn't help him nor Scarponi in 2011. Just Burgos is enough prep, as freshness is more important in the Vuelta than any other GT.

Tell that to Purito who is scheduled to ride Burgos and San Sebastian.

Apart from this he could have won if instead of watching Valverde and Purito he would have gone with Horner in stage 10, Alto de Hazallanas. But that's only my opinion.

LOL at Dayer Quintana being listed in that company.

He lost time to Horner even after he attacked himself...

post bookmarked,I let you know in a year


As for this Vuelta he will be dom/super-dom (if on form) of course.

Let me know what in a year? The Vuelta is next month, he won't be contending for the GC.

sorry my mistake, I thought you underestimated him as a gc rider for future

Talansky, D Martin & Hesjedal for Vuelata ?? I know Dan Martin is aiming for high GC

What about Kelderman - is he not riding it

And Kiserlovski

Is thre a possibility that Kreuziger could be back otherwise TCS have no GC rider???

Yes Kelderman is riding.

If your putting Dayer Quintana there then Adam Yates deserves to be put there too.

Its very likely he will race imo.He is 'suspended' only by his team.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

I cannot understand this thread. Why on earth anybody is thinking about a bunch of uphill sprints in a couple months, when we've had have wet cobbles, echelons, a nice hilly stage and when we have some good designed mountain stages coming up boggles the mind.

Lol now I saw Kudus on the start list I realise how silly my post actually is! Finally Horner will be dropped like the silly old white man he is!

On a more serious note, should Kudus really be riding a GT at 20 years old? Sure he might be one of the best climbers MTN have and there's a few mountains in the Vuelta, but Kudus is from '94......

I hope they at least have the sense not to let him finish.

 

[Wallenquist]

Cyclingfever added Sagan to the Vuelta's startlist anyone have confirmation for that ? Does Peter really going to ride Vuelta this year ?

It's quite young but Sebastian Henao did very well at the Giro at the same age. They can always pull Kudus out if he gets too tired.

PCS often put riders on the list just to remove them later. Don't take it to seriously at the moment.

But perhaps Peter wants to win a stage in a GT this year at last
