Nibali, the Giro winner goes into the Vuelta as favourite, with British interest restricted to Luke Rowe for Team Sky. Irishman Dan Martin will lead Team Garmin-Sharp.
For the uninitiated, the Vuelta is every bit as tough as the TdF with some difficult (downright brutal IMHO) mountain stages and this years sees 11 hill-top finishes.
For those interested, coverage is by ITV with a highlights programme nightly on ITV4, 10 p.m. to 11.
