Best Site for Vuelta Coverage
Postby Tom Marius » Thu Aug 28, 2008 5:01 pm
Hi all
Just wondering what website is the best for vuelta coverage? I looked at the 'official' homepage but it seems a bit rubbish to me. Anybody know of any really good sites? If not i may have to stick with the official one, although im sure someone out there must do better coverage.
while we're at it, predictions for the winner? I would like to see sastre do it twice but i dont think he has it in him

Not sure if cycling news website will do live coverage by text or not.Sure the online Eurosport site will show at least the last hour of each stage.

Matty Lloyd gets a start with Silence looks like Popo is their main man here though .
Sastre won't have the support he had on the Tour, no Schlecks, Voight or Cancellara.
Astana look strong, Contador the man to beat (no ground breaking news there I know).
Boonen is back
What about the old man on the tour Zabel doing all the grand tours, a great effort and he's still very competitive.
I'm going for Cunego as the smokie even though he was relatively disappointing on the Tour. His team looks solid.

Yeh its funny CSC is practically a whole different team now. Im a bit of a vuelta noob, are there any differences between it and the tour (ie jersey colours, are there time bonuses in the vuelta?)
plus looking forward to the team time trial, always good to watch

Seems he didn't hold it for long.Chuck wrote:Valverde wins the 2nd stage and takes the leaders jersey.
How good is he in an uphill finish .
BikeRadar.comItaly's Daniel Bennati of Liquigas took the overall race leader's golden jersey in the Tour of Spain on Monday despite finishing the third stage in second place behind Belgium's Tom Boonen.

Contador wins stage 13 (mountain stage) impressively and takes the lead in the overall classification.
