wow... that makes for incredibly star-studded start list, but I don't really think he's in with a chance after an injury like that.

edit - he says so himself, indeed. good for him anyway

I love the Vuelta and like to support Caja Rural.

star-studded start list,

Half way to a three way.

Thinking about going to watch the Logrono criterium stage.

Along with Froome, Team Sky’s full line-up includes Philip Deignan, Mikel Nieve, Vasil Kiryienka, Kanstantsin Siutsou, Christian Knees, Dario Cataldo, and British riders Luke Rowe and Peter Kennaugh.

Cavendish confirmed not to be at the Vuelta

I presume there'll be tv highlights each day, anyone know when/where?

ITV4 have an hour of highlights each night @ either 7pm or 10pm (seems to be a 50/50 split depending on whether the footy or James Bond is on!). Assuming you don't have Eurosport...

Yes, the same as last year and the year before. Bring on the Imlach and Boardman show!

Defending Champ Horner withdraws from the race under MPCC rules. Probably a good thing.

This may be a little redundant...

Ooo, that little bump at 1km...Watch out Dan Martin!

Betancur riding. Be interesting to see what sort of form he's in after his vanishing act.

Did you see his Vuelta a Burgos result? DFL out of 92 riders in GC and the slowest TT ride by some margin

La Vuelta Diet, ride yourself thin by Carlos Betancur

^ this could happen.

Racehorse to donkey? He's had a strange season

The GC in Spain seems quite open.

The puncheur stages, always a mix of favourites, open.

The Sprint stages – with the start list missing a several pure sprinters... open.

This is going to be fun!

Sagan has got to bag a few surely? Some of the uphill finishes look perfect for him.

Wonder of he'll get any help from the Tinkoff boys.

No doubt he'll be there.

I guess these are his rivals in a late sprint: From fast finish to hard finish;

Bouhanni
Degenkolb
Ciolek
Gilbert
Rodriguez
