Preview

Starting on Monday, August 20 is the 23rd edition of the Vuelta a Burgos, a Spanish class 2.1 race that boasts a field comparable to a grand tour. Lance Armstrong (US Postal) will be making one of his final European appearances for the year, and together with teammate Roberto Heras he will be up against tour specialists Marco Pantani (Mercatone Uno), Alex Zülle and Fernando Escartin (Team Coast), Oscar Sevilla (Kelme) and the reconstructed Richard Virenque (Domo-Farm Frites).

Many of these riders won't be in top form, but some will be using it as a tester for the Vuelta España, which starts in three weeks. Others to watch for include Alexandre Vinokourov (Telekom), Axel Merckx (Domo), Jon Odriozola and Jose Maria Jimenez (iBanesto), Santiago Botero (Kelme), Jose Azevedo (ONCE), Iban Mayo and Roberto Laiseka (Euskaltel), Manuel Beltran (Mapei) and Jose Luis Rubiera (US Postal)
