Astana to hit hard with Tour-quality squad

The Astana team will enter into the 23rd Vuelta a Castilla y León with one thing in mind: revenge. The team received confirmation last week that the team would not be starting the Tour de France - a stinging rebuke for the defending Tour champion Alberto Contador. The team will rally behind its young Spanish leader who is defending his title in last year's Castilla y León with a Grand Tour-ready squad, including last year's third place Tour de France finisher and Tour of California winner Levi Leipheimer.

They'll face strong competition from a peloton full of young Spanish professionals seeking to make a name for themselves and seasoned professionals tuning up their legs for the Giro d'Italia.
