Cobo is an amazing owner of an exact climber pedigree. Alberto, Andy and then Juanjo who is somewhere on the way to them. He should be loved for that. :D

how do you think the top 10 will shape up in the vuelta

i personally think it will be something along the line of :

1 contador ( return of the king nuff said)
2 uran (best of the rest only one who can follow contador in the mountains)
3 gesink (yeah i said it i wont lose hope gesink will rise)
4 J.rodriguez ( i dont believe the hype he will not win)
5 schleck ( he is banged up other wise he would be second)
6 quintana (good **** too early he will have good and bad days)
7 kreuziger ( he will challenge but always has a bad day)
8 anton ( same as kreuziger hope euskatel wont lose too much time in TTT)
9 capecchi ( my suprise pick if he is aloud too right for him self why not)
10mollema (mollema well let everybody se it wasnt a fluck last year)

- froome tired from the tour
- cunego maybe 6 years ago :p
- pinot cant possibly ride 2 top 10 at 22 can he?
- de gendt wont ride for the win

so what do you guys think

Pfff... Uran, "best of the rest"?? Where the phuck do you get that from?

Gesink podium? Hell no.

Froome wasn't even trying at the Tour.

Cobo will be at least top 5.

Uran is in a good form if the olympics & tour of poland are any indication.
Gesink will like the parcours certainly, and Cobo was looking strong in the last week of the tour, riding with VALVERDE in the Mtns.

so because he rides good 2 mountain stages and the rest of the tour **** he is a favorite for the vuelta pffff

The argument is that his focus being the Vuelta, his gaining form in the Tour's 3rd week bodes well for his prospects in his targeted event. Had he been climbing with the elite throughout the Tour the complaint would be that he peaked too soon and wouldn't be able to carry his form through the Vuelta.
Everyone recognizes he is unpredictable due to his supposed fragile psyche but his stepping up and winning last year's Vuelta should've earned him a certain degree of respect.
