Vuelta News forAugust 31, 2003 Edited by Chris Henry & Jeff Jones Belda: Sevilla can win While Oscar Sevilla may be hedging his bets for the upcoming Vuelta a España, due to his prolonged absence from competition this year, his Kelme-Costa Blanca team manager Vicente Belda has other ideas. "This year's Vuelta can be won by Oscar Sevilla," he said simply, with one week to go until the Vuelta kicks off in Gijon, Spain. Sevilla has noted that he can count only 4,000 kilometres of riding this season, whereas most of his competition will have put in some 30,000. But he remains confident that if he survives the difficult Vuelta opening, his form will continue to improve each day.
