    Zubeldia
    Antòn
    Astarloza
    Landaluze
    Isasi
    Galdos
    Verdugo

    Magnus... I vote for you as Sport Director ;)

    Your team is the one I like most ;) Well... one more Sánchez and I guess this could more or less be the team for the Vuelta...

    Isasi broke his collarbone once again in the Vuelta a Asturias... Do you think he will be cured in time to ride the Tour?

    I was only surprised that Landaluze wasn't in the list.

    I didn't want to accuse Magnus...!
