I ended up booking with Bike Spain for the Vuela a Espana 2009 Tour! It is 10days of between 49-55 miles per day closely following the race. There will be numerous opportunities to see the actual race, and VIP area tickets to the finale. It includes a cool jersey too. The lodgings are more upscale, some Paradores. The support van has a long trailer for all the bikes so the van has passenger room.

September 12 to 21, 2009. Cost 1650 Euros
