Castilla y León coming up

Remember Antón beating the mighty and seemingly indestructible Alberto Contador at the top of the Alto de Morredero at last year's Vuelta a Castilla y León? Antón will have the chance to repeat that performance as both riders will line up in Castilla y León on Wednesday. The five-day stage race will run through to Sunday, and stage 3 will again, just like last year, be a chance for the Galdakao native to flex his muscles as the stage ends atop the 1.cat Laguna de Peces. Stage four is an 11,2km ITT so Contador will definetely win the race, make no mistake about it, but Antón should be in the mix as his form is picking up with the Giro just a month or so away. He'll have ample support from Vuelta-hero Mikel Nieve and in-form Gorka Izagirre. Joining the trio will be Rubén Pérez, who'll be hoping to show his worth on the flatter stages against the likes of Bos, Henderson, Rojas and Ventoso, Jorge Azanza, Javier Aramendía, Miguel Mínguez and Daniel Sesma.
