Poels maybe 😁
Nah he won't race it....Some of the faves will be Almeida,Nibali, Allaphillipe,Hindley,Mas and who can overlook Landisimo !

Need proper climbing legs for La Vuelta, and generally not having just raced the tour helps....

Agree although there's a few riders that only seemed to find there legs getting towards the end of the Tour....Martinez springs to mind.

wasn't Martinez ill at the start of the tour though? It certainly settled who was Ineos GC leader pretty quickly.

an early exit from the tour can be a good warm up to salvage the season at La Vuelta

Evenepoel is having another go at the GC. Could struggle in the steep stages.

Top ten with a few stage wins ? Suppose a lot depends on what sort of support he'd get.Honestly I don't really see him getting near the podium though....says me looking at what's odds I can get 😁

There's nothing like seeing riders struggling up ridiculously steep hills in the searing heat

What about Hugh Carthy as an outside bet?
If he's riding that is.

Think he was top 10 at the Giro ? Love him as he's local to me and a gutsy rider....but podium ? I'm not sure.

I did read he wasn't racing,but what do I know ! Will wait and see.
In an interview with Radio MARCA, Vuelta a Espana race director Javier Guillén has said that Egan Bernal will be at the start in Utrecht on the 19th of August. This, although unconfirmed and with little comunication from the team, comes as a sign of confidence that the Colombian will not only be back to competition soon, but on a higher stage than expected.

Mikel means buisness !
“I think right now I will be looking for stage wins,” Landa said of the upcoming Vuelta, which starts August 19 in the Netherlands. “The podium looks very far away right now.”
