Rabobank's Vuelta squad:
Carlos Barredo
Oscar Freire
Juan Manuel Garate
Luis Leon Sanchez
Steven Kruijswijk
Bauke Mollema
Tom Jelte Slagter
Matti Breschel
Paul Martens
Strong team, stronger than their Tour team if you ask me.
Maybe LL can do something for a decent GC now with the nationality bonus, although my guess for the GC would be Kruiswijk with Mollema and Sanchez in support/going for stage wins.

Meh, Mollema was sick during the Tour and when his GC was lost he took it easy in a lot of stages.
I think he can still do reasonable, but I think Kruijswijk will do best in the gc from that team |

Now that is a TEAM, very strong, i expect them to win couple of stages, almost everyone of them is capable of it...

Does Greipel also ride the Vuelta? Any information yet?
His form seems to be good at the moment. |

There's no OPL team confirmed as far as I know, and I haven't heard anything either way. I'd like him to ride, tbh.

You forget Sagan in there, ideal for hilly Vuelta stages ending in the sprint

Yes, but Cavendish, and even more Kittel won't be there if it's too hilly. And in a flat sprint Sagan can't do anything against them and Greipel. |

yeah, but hilly stages suiting Sagan more then the other two are more often in Vuelta then flat stages (only 3-4 this year), so it should be interesting battle in sprints and point jersey.

Interesting with no Greipel, but they probably want focus only on VdB, podium should be possible for him.

If he could get back to his tour form, he has a chance for the overall victory... |

How well can he perform after breaking his shoulder though? Don't think he'll get much higher then top 10 really. Is he riding races at the moment?

Nice squad. Quite good possible train in O'Grady, Wagner, Vigano, Bennati. Monfort and Fuglsang as GC leaders with some solid support from Rohregger and Zaugg. And Cancellara is in Vuelta probably only to prepare himself for Worlds and maybe Giro di Lombardia then. Plus to try to win a time trial, I guess.
