Which riders will leave La Vuelta prematurely?

[Hedebooo]

As we have seen with riders such as Cancellara, Sagan, and Bouhanni in recent years, some riders use the first one or two weeks of the Vuelta to prepare for the Worlds.

Taking the route in Richmond into consideration, I assume that cobble specialists such as Cancellara, Degenkolb, and Sagan will leave La Vuelta early on, which should leave the sprints in the second half of the Vuelta completely open to Bouhanni.

Which riders do you predict will do so this year and after which stage?

Gerrans to drop out at the second rest day unless he's going very, very well. Cancellara and Sagan to do the same.

Thomas, unless Froome is in position to win Vuelta and do the double I guess. Although I can't see Thomas doing anything at Worlds the guy has been on fire since Paris Nice, 3 peaks are impossible (surely )

I am not betting, but seeing as you guys like to compete and most have great reasons and statistics to underscore their points, I thought it would be interesting to see who could get some of these riders right

Bouhanni, Pelucchi, Cancellara.

Adam Hansen.

Everyone, looking at the state of the TTT course. Sand and Boardwalks for the riders to ride on.
