La Vuelta a España starts this Saturday!


Get ready for the La Vuelta a España! The last grand tour of the season. The first stage will be this Saturday, August 30 in Granada. My pick for the overall is Spanish rider Alberto Contador riding for ASTANA. Damiano Cunego is my pick for the best climber. Also watch for Juan Antonio Flecha on the flat/rolling stages where there's likely a solo break. The solo breakaway specialist rarely win the overall but in my opinion have the most endurance and are amazingly strong. They do most of the "driving" and work for their team leader who is favored to be an overall contender.
