1. Alberto Contador
2. Daniel Navarro
3. Benjamin Noval
4. Sergio Paulinho
5. Nicki Sørensen
6. Jesus Hernandez
7. Bruno Pires
8. Rafal Majka
9. Matteo Tosatto
10. Chris Froome

I take it from everyone's answers that Henao is not racing La Vuelta.

If he is, I am not puting Quintana on top of Henao. Not yet.

Don't know if I missed something, but last time I checked he(Henao) was listed for the Vuelta.
Allthough it might be better for him to ride just 1 GT this year, but I would enjoy his presence in the Vuelta that's for sure :)

The past and the future to meet. Froome to win by a huge margin. Allegedly cycling enthusiasts who root for Contador to go into an greater antagonism towards Sky.
 
1. Contador
2. JRod
3. Gesink
4. Froome
5. Montfort
6. Anton
7. Cobo
8. Kreuziger
9. Roche
10. Jeanneson

I have my doubtes about VDB, he said he won't do any specific training for the Vuelta, just take it day by day, De Gendt idem. I see them go for a stage victory...

Unless froome begins to take cheapshots at contador anywhere he can and begins to look up to Armstrong as the hero of cycling, i don't know if there will be that.much antagonism towards froome.

Have you already made up a justification on the occasion if he'll be beaten?

If he gets beaten it will just make him more popular really.

Anyways, I will be quite a race. The 1st week will be close. Froome might even have the upper hand. Last week will be Bertie's.

To bad Andy is not there. So I reckon u will roote for Froome in his absense? Any1 but Bertie?

Lol very funny.

I assure you, there'll minimum of fun for you.:D

Hard to delineate the other favourites' capacities. Cobo is a thing-in-itself, the man of moods who can ride very differently, still hope Matxin is going to be somewhere in the vicinity. Anton had an injury and in general difficult estimate his GC ambtions after last year's fail. this would be very surprising to see Purito in top-5 too. Hopefully, Jeneasson will be able to do well. I had considered he could already fire in the Tour, but he wasn't even included.. Does anyone know why?

No, I don't support Froome. For Cobo and Jeannesson a little bit.

I'm sure there'll be more fun on one day than in the last 6 months combined.

Am looking forward to following Cobo too. He kind of a wild card imo despite winning last year, since he has shown nothing this year. Will he be a 1 hit wonder or will he be able to pick up speed again? I do hope he will return to the same level as last year.

With the same level and self-confidence he had in the third week last year, he might win. :) Though, It would be really splendid to have a triple mountain clash - Contador, Froome and Cobo!
