And his twin brother Simon is riding the Vuelta, so we can check how identical they are at riding grand tours. Adam now has an 'I was hit by the 1km banner' scar on his chin, if it doesn't fade. The live coverage on ITV seemed to suggest there's a very strong line up this year for the Vuelta, think they mentioned Froome, Quintana and Contador.

Contador likely after his early abandon. Folk tend not to do brilliantly at the Vuelta if they've done the full 3 weeks in France, but of course he'll be relatively rested. Kruiswijk should be there, will be interesting to see if his Giro was a flash in the pan.
