well, in the cycling news article it states that the others on the list will not be starting. thats Ullrich, Basso, Heras, Servilla, Mancebo, Mechov + many more, 22 of 58 names listed are tour starters. Jock hows your road form? looks like you may get a start!
Id say Vino is not the only one feeling the heat behind the scenes. If he is allowed to start then it looks like it could be the discovery boys vs Cadel Vs Boonen, wouldnt that be wierd to see him take out a GC....
