Just interested ... how many of us who have access to tv, internet coverage of the Vuelta, and ususally watch it, will be doing so from Saturday.
Personally I'm in two minds.
I paid far less attention to the Tour this year than ever before. The OP expulsions sort of knocked the good out of it for me. Although, I got sucked back in during mountain stages.
Since FL's bust I have had the chance to, and in former years would have watched, key stages of Deutchland tour, Eneco, Vattenfalls, but just didn't bother.
Now with the vuelta, Im intrigued by how Perreiro and ValVerde will work together and if Vino and Mayo will compete. But at the same time Im sicked by all the goings on, the doping, the UCI, the legal disputes, the sheer random nature of the sport right now.
