I must say I don't think Contador's performancemin the Eneco was "pretty amazing". The best stage racer of his generation finished fourth to Boom, Chavanel and Terpstra. A good performance for a comeback, but hardly amazing given that while he has not been racing, he has been training. It's not as if he were returning from a long-term injury.

It's very difficult to know how this Vuelta will pan out. I'm interested to see how a Sky line-up built around a climber will work, and there's no doubt that Contador's return adds interest and increases the unpredictability, which is great. Last year's vuelta was absolutely terrific to watch. Here's hoping this one is as good.
