I think there's couple of guys who would discuss the event. Who's your favourite for the GC? Did you guys enjoy today's stage two of the race 'cause I think it was huge!!

I hope that Mercado will show his pure climbing skills and pull away from the rest of the guys. I also wish that Botero will perform well.

BTW Tour of Poland (cat. 2.2) is starting tommorow featuring some interesting riders.

Hey, you know Mercado too, Mirun? I'm counting on hm to make an impact. I saw him in our Portuguese Tour, and the kid was great! I bet he'll win at least one Vuelta in the next 4 years.

Yes, I did watch the stage today, and it was great to see Azevedo leading the pack on the first tough mountain of the Vuelta.(H) I also expect him to be in the top 10, although he already gave more than he was asked to, in the Tour de France.

There are a lot of great players in this year's race, maybe even a better roster than the T. de France. Casagrande appears to be in great condition too, but I think it will be between Heras and Beloki. But, like I said, there are a lot of great riders out there, so I won't be surprised if somebody else wins.

Oh, did you guys know that the race will end in the Real Madrid stadium, because of their centenary?(H)
