A much more heterogeneous field than the Tour: some teams with mostly B-list names, but across the field a lot of top-contenders for the overall.

Yep, I had a little search after his resutls etc and he just never reached his initial level again.Its a pity, with his weight couple of vuelta steep climbs would have suited him.Mayomaniac said:I hope that Elissonde will be able to get a stage win, what happened to him?
He won the Angliru stage in his first GT. I now that he never was the most consisten rider, but he was 2nd on the last 2 stages of the 2011 Giro della Valle d'Aosta, climbing with Aru and Dombrowski, at least he should be able to become a good stagehunter, but he seems to have regressed durning the last 2 years.
Nowhere near what Aru said, or even implied.No_Balls said:Golden boy Aru made the statement Landa is not included in the "real team" vision

Then we could watch the most crazy TTT ever. Seriously that would be incredibly dangerous and especially unfair for the riders who start late. Although I would kind of like to see something like that (of course without crashes) we should probably hope that the weather will be good.TMP402 said:More details here

Very wacky decision by the organisers. Won't the course get much harder the later you set off? And what if it rains?!!?
