Anyone else following the Vuelta?
Alessandro Pettachi should provide some classic sprint finishes with the Milram "train" setting things up perfectly and peeling off one after the other to get him in the best spot for the final dash for the line.
Cadel Evans looks in good form of course but it is probably too big of an ask after his brilliant TdF.
No Julz/Thor combination - ah, well they were good to watch in the TdF.
Astana completely out (Kasheshkin's B sample coming back + as if we expected different)
A change of scenery - olive and orange groves, some rugged climbds and more wildand less civilised than France and Italy. Am reading Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls currently so am in a Spanish mentality even without the Vuelta

Unfortunately, Tom Danielson had to withdraw from the race with injuries suffered in a crash. He has had the worst luck this year.

Yeah! I bought the premium coverage on Cycling.TV It was great this morning to watch the race live. Their commentary is excellent too...
Great sprint finish today!
ETA: Yeah, poor Tom. I was excited to watch him since his Slipstream announcement and cause he was sick for the Tour de France.
