PreviewDefending champion Francesco Mancebo (iBanesto) is returning to the Vuelta a Castilla-León to try and repeat his efforts in the five day UCI 2.4 class stage race. The first day (August 5) is split into two stages - a 45.6 km road race from Segovia to El Espinar, followed by a 9.3 km individual time trial around El Espinar. Mancebo's teammate, Juan Carlos Domínguez, will be a favourite to gain the jersey on the first day. The toughest stage is on day 2, 182 kilometres starting and finishing in Avila, containing the climbs of Navalmoral (Cat. 2), Mijares (Cat. 1), Serranillos (Cat. 1) and Navalmoral again (Cat. 1). But the deciding stage may well be the final one, from Benavente to Alto del Redondal (142 km), that finishes on the Alto del Redondal (Cat. 1), with sections of 14% and higher. Marco Pantani will make his return to racing here after nearly two months away from competition. Start listiBanesto.com Team Deutsche Telekom
