Sky confirmed on Tuesday that the Colombian duo of Giro runner-up Rigoberto Urán and Sergio Henao will take the start on Saturday, with Henao taking leadership duties for the first time in a three-week tour.

< is it because Uran is leaving that Sky is investing in developing Henao rather? >

I am battling to build up some enthusiasm, maybe when I see old Scarpo take a mountain stage I'll feel more interested,.... but right now its not grabbing me. :eek:

100% why give all those nice UCi points to OPQS for next season? Henao has been very average compared to Uran Uran but there is no way that he's going to get leadership support and experience on Sky's watch only to feck off to another team and run the gig.

Scarpo has Some stiff competition on the hills this year. No way he is going to win anything.

Don't be grumpy though its going to be awesome!

Surprising Canondale not sporting new kit. Basso looking lean, lets hope he has the form.

Saw how lean Kreuziger looked. Yoh!

A bit too lean for a 3 week race.

Astana is looking ready for the challenge. Nibali did well missing Le Tour. Kreuziger best not run out of steam. Vuelta is a climbers race. Did you see the tiny climber on FDJ? Spartacus is looking mean and ready for today.

Sadly old Boots is getting a bit long in the tooth now, happens to all of us unfortunately, but he has had an illustrious career, maybe not as good as some, but then a lot better than others, however I still think he still has the makings for a good showing on one or two of the really steep climbs, hope so anyway, but we will soon see I guess.

Do you think Kreuziger has recovered sufficiently physically and mentally from the tour Dale? He had a very competitive and tough tour to get over in a relatively short time.

Week 3 will tell.

Don't think so, GOG.
