La Vuelta, Stage 2, *Spoilers*


That first climb might be insignificant for the GC, but with the likelihood that the stage winner will take the overall, it might be an opportunity for one of the less prominent teams such as Caja Rural, NetApp & Vancansoleil-DCM to go for the KOM jersey. The stage finish is an 11km ascent up to Alto do Monte da Groba.
PTP favourites Purito, Valverde and LL Sanchez; but Sky might surprise a few with Henao or Cataldo going for an early stage win.
Live coverage starts on Eurosport at 1500 BST. Please check out http://www.steephill.tv/vuelta-a-espana/#live for updates on the others and live streaming video links.

Almost to the foot of the climb to the finish now.
Happy for Roche to take that win
Early days so not expecting long rangers but Konig first to show some balls. The WT teams should educate themselves on him as I bet they say the strip, thought 'chancer' and let the gap get too big
Also: Anton? Sammy Sanchez? Henao? Not sure what to make of that.
has to be I guess if Sky actually want to compete. From what I can see on the Vuelta site Henao's still not listed and even if he's in the next group of riders to be processed he's going to be like 2mins down on the day at best.
e: 2:41 down.
Eh, wut?
I see exactly what Rick is saying, but Rick you forget: The Tour was only boring because a Sky rider leading it.
