Who's up for the Vuelta ?

I hope there are real champs this year, I'm concerned that if Heras
who barely finished the TDF wins again by beating Floyd "Mr invisble"
Landis that race is going to be discredited for ever ! Hopefully
Ullrich will go and kick some butt over there like he did in 1999.

Heh-heh - good point, now that Jan has ridden himself into shape...

I'd love to see that. Also, look at Mancebo, finishing 4th in the
tour. He could win the vuelta one day, but h e doesn't win stages,
that I remember anyways. If he's not all fried he could really do a
great Vuelta. I can't imagine heras being that much of threat unless
he improves dramatically. SImoni and/or Cunego both skipped the tour
and simoni has always done well in the vuelta mountains, and so could
Cunego if he's on form.

He's said he wants to win another grand tour- all that's left is the
Giro. Hit for the cycle, I say!

Aitor Gonzales will torture everyone there this year. Did your se him
in Tour de Swiss? I can only think of three riders at their top level
beeing able to beat him: Ullrich, Basso and Herras. Basso won't be
there, and i doubt that Ullrich will be there either - at least not as
a GT contender, but perhaps for a week or two to prepare for the World
Championship.

Herras will make the podium next to the terminator. Sastre, Valverde
could take the last spot. If Bottero or Simoni entered they could also
make the podium. I don't think Mancebo will be there in top shape and i
doubt that Vinukurov will aim for GC. But let's see, the Vuelta is far
away and we don't even know who will enter the race. As for the
americans, neither landis or Leipheimer has what it takes to win the
Vuelta.
