The Rabobank team has named Denis Menchov and Oscar Freire as its top men for the Vuelta a España, which starts on August 27. Both riders have had health problems this year, with Menchov getting sick during the Tour and failing to perform to his potential, and Freire suffering from a saddle sore problem since the spring. Rabobank has also named Jan Boven, Bram de Groot, Pedro Horrillo, Alexandr Kolobnev, Niels Scheuneman, Jukka Vastaranta, and Thorwald Veneberg.
For next week's ProTour Eneco Tour of Benelux (August 3-10), Rabobank has selected a strong squad with Erik Dekker and Michael Boogerd as captains. Jan Boven, Thomas Dekker, Bram De Groot, Steven de Jongh, Thorwald Veneberg and Marc Wauters complete the line up.
