Liberty's Eleven

This week, the 11 shortlisted riders for the Tour de France from Liberty Seguros-Würth will spend their time in the Spanish town of Puente Viesgo, Cantabria. Here, the summoned cyclists will complete a final block of training, but more importantly, Puente Viesgo will be the place where team manager Manolo Saiz will select his nine-man line-up for La Grand Boucle, which begins on the west coast of France in Fromentine on July 2, commencing with a 19 kilometre individual time trial.

Liberty Seguros-Würth short-list for TdF: René Andrle, Joseba Beloki, Alberto Contador, Allan Davis, Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano, Roberto Heras, Jörg Jaksche, Luis León Sanchez, Marcos Serrano, Ángel Vicioso and Jan Hruska.
