One of the most exciting races I have ever seen, as it brings a mix of those of finished the Tour de France, either exhausted or in good shape, and those riders who didn't, couldn't go to the TDF, and are hungry for victory.
Should be a nice battle between Bettini (if he is racing), Spaniards and Andy Schleck. Frank feeling tired, he will pass on this race to focus on Olympics. The young brother should have big support from his team (I'm sure if Sastre takes part, he'll rip his ass off for Andy, due to all the work done in France), I saw him race last night in Luxembourg (1.4km circuit in central Luxembourg city, taken I don't know haow many times), he won, and you can sense his frustration at not having had the opportunity to go for a stage win at TDF.
Any ideas on who could win the Clasica this year? Contador? Or will he do an "Armstrong", and only compete and next year's Tour de France???
