The final GT of the year starts on Saturday. Surprisingly for a GT it does not start in Holland. Instead we have a nice night-time TTT around Seville instead.

Full route details at the official website: http://www.lavuelta.es/10/en/recorrido/vuelta.html?e=1

    What a distinguished group! :D

    Nearly as much of a rogues gallery as the list of past L-B-L winners!

    I'm going for a boring pick this time.

    I'm really tempted to go for Anton for gc, but also considering Nibbles and Mosquera.

    Mosquera please, NIbbles might be distracted by Roman Kreuziger
