Alejandro Valverde will lead Caisse d'Epargne at this year's Vuelta a España, which commences this weekend in Spain. The Spanish squad is hoping for a strong Grand Tour, after its entry in the Tour de France as pre-race general classification favourites fizzed out, despite multiple stage victories.
Valverde will face some stiff competition in Spain, with reigning Tour de France champion Carlos Sastre leading the CSC-Saxo Bank team at his home race, while Astana's Alberto Contador is also keen on claiming the title.
Caisse d'Epargne for Vuelta a España: David Arroyo, Imanol Erviti, Vicente García Acosta, Alberto Losada, Dani Moreno, Luis Pasamontes, Joaquím Rodríguez, Alejandro Valverde and Xabier Zandio.
