I've seen bits a pieces, saturdays stage was out of control, thats what cycling should be like. I imagine its going to come down to Rodriguez and Froome. Rodriguez is climbing well, looks like he is strong all round and is probably hungry for a win after the Giro (and he's getting old). But Froome has a smarter riding style and will do well in TT.
Having said that I wont be surprised of Contador finds his legs in the 3rd week, but thats not a prediction.

Easily the most interesting grand tour of the year and some of the mountain-top finishes have just been amazing. Whatever you think of Contador, he certainly won't go home wondering what might have happened if he'd attacked a bit more! So much more interesting than watching the Sky team time trial around France.
I think its been the most exciting tour i have seen - the three spainards racing for the podium, talansky v froome v gesnik. So much more exciting than le tour and giro. That last mtn stage was awesome. Hopefully le tour will take note and make same style course 2013 as this years vuelta.
I dont think purrito has it in the bag yet - sat nites stage is going be big, alberto already hinting at long range attack on the hc finish - its long steep grind and hes stated he needs go early as he cant drop purrito last few kms.
I also think good work by froome, he has had big season and is still top ten ( doubt wiggo make top 20 in this vuelta)
GO SIMON CLARKE !!!!!!
