    Looking forward to the Vuelta. Should be a good race with those contenders that crashed out of the Tour looking to do something and a strong Spanish list of big names as usual. Enjoyed the race last year so i hope its a good one this.

    Surely Gilbert won't ride this as prep for the WC will he?

    The Vuelta seems definitely to have rediscovered Galicia last couple of years

    Apart from the teams who are based there.

    Leigh Howard self confirmed and HTC will have a "full roster of sprinters" according to him

    I think poor sprinters, no many chances (13 mountain stages, 1 ITT, 1 TTT and some uphill finish)

    Three finishes on 23%+ climbs (and one 18%)... wow

    With all the world's sprinters riding the Vuelta in preparation of Copenhagen, those 4 or so sprinters' stages will be hotly contested...

    I think The Vuelta have to have his own personality, and don´t design his route thinking in nobody.

    Just remembering the Giro´s of Saronni and Moser :twisted:

    It's going to be on ITV4.

    I don't know how reliable that website is, but @mrendell has also said he'll be involved, thus implicitly confirming the news.

    Tour of Spain listed on http://www.itv.com/itv4/

    :D

    Edit: Having a quick scroll through the guide it looks like a similar level of coverage to the TdF: 2+hrs live per day + (half-hour) highlights

    That's great news they are showing it on ITV4 for those without ES.
    I saw in Procycling today the San Lorenzo de El Escorial at the end of stage 8 as being listed as 28% in sections... OUCH :shock: !!!!
    I can't wait for the Vuelta, one of my favourite races. I reckon this year could be a cracker.

    From Vuelta site: The finish in San Lorenzo, with ramps of 27 and 28%, may mark some differences in the pack if they have not completed the previous climbs.

    Worth a thread in itself, I thought.

    I really hope that the Vuelta this year is as good as last years, the course certainly looks good.

    Which Belgian channels show the Vuelta? I will be over there for stages 7,8 and 9. Can take the old sat dish too like, or find a nice like bevvy house. Hopefully watch Stage 8 in the RVV Brasserie

    Sporza will show absolutely any world tour or HC event. (which I think is normally Flemish channel 1)
