Last time, at 'home', in Murcia, Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) lost a unique opportunity to win in the Spanish championships. In Móstoles, next to Madrid, this Sunday morning, Valverde wants to settle that debt, and hopes to go to the Tour de France as the Spanish champion. Because of the foreseeable outcome of the 228 km race to a sprint finish, the Caisse d'Epargne rider leads the list to beat the rest of the favourites, such as Angel Vicioso (Würth), Angel Edo (Andalucia), Martin Perdiguero (Phonak) or Francisco Ventoso (Saunier Duval). The participation of Oscar Freire (Rabobank) is in doubt.
