Alright the point of this thread is to give your spanish dream team of the current spanish riders. Obviously 9 names.

Mine Spanish Dream Team: Contador, Valverde, Purito, LL Sanchez, Moreno, Inxausti, Castroviejo, Hernandez and oh what the heck Freire.

Normally I wouldn't put Freire in it but he's a legend. Awesome dude and he showed class in the amstel gold race and you never know with him in a WC even at 36.

Edit: Not sure if Sami sanchez is able to ride it but if he's capable of it then him instead of hernandez.

Captains: Valverde, J. Rodriguez
Free Role: Contador, Anton
Gregarios: Verdugo, Castroviejo, Ruben Perez Moreno, Barredo, JJ Rojas

(Leaving Sam out for now)

Anton's been a mystery to me all season. To me it seems he timed his Vuelta peak too late for the race, putting him in awesome shape come Worlds/Lombardy. He could either be a big force at the World's or crash in the neutral zone.

lol now compare that to what used to be a force which scared other nations to the bones: italy

bettini,stay home!

espana is just a wonderful team but i hope the colombians and JTL will hang on there
:( If only we could see Ballan, Pippo, Pellizotti, Cunego and Scarponi. That would be a force.
