Give me your picks for the podium of the 2007 Vuelta and the person with the most points wins a 6-pack of their choice. If the chosen beverage is alcoholic in nature I will need to see ID. :)
Submit your entries via a comment to this post no later than Monday, September 3rd. Points will be assigned for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place (3,2,1) for a total of 6 points. The person with the most points wins. Only one entry per person. An anonymous comment can't win. In the case of a tie the person who submitted their team first wins. Good luck!

I'll take a stab:
1 Menchov
2 Pereiro
3 Sastre
Also for the record the Vuelta usually sucks! No massive crowds and the race course usually is hot and barren. I say axe the 3 week version and make it a 10 day stage race. Also half the field is prepping for worlds and drops out the second week. BORING!! Why race if you are not going for anything but miles on the legs. Stay home and train.
Boo!
I enjoy the Vuelta because it's so low key. Sure, some guys drop out in anticipation of Worlds but who cares? This is a race for the Spaniards and the young guys trying to prove their worth as grand tour riders.
Plus, I was 3rd in the 2006 Fantasy Vuelta run by Cyclingnews and won some cool prizes. How can I not like the race after it was so good to me!
