| Bojan > Armstrong only competed once, and left Vuelta to his road captain, Herras. Despite its potential and a few great races, la Vuelta has always been more or less considered as a second rate stage race, and it became even more marginalised after Indurain's focus on Tour de France. Armstrong did the same. He only competed once in Giro too. Now Vuelta has been moved after TdF, it's an opportunity to save a season (Valverde this year for instance), or to prepare for the World championship. And as often, a golden opportunity for good cyclists without hope for TdF or Giro to win a stage race. |
