TuttoBiciWeb has the start lists & bib numbers for the Vuelta a España here.
Sastre's pinned #1. No Voigt, Cancellara, A. Schleck, or F. Schleck for the Vuelta. CSC-Saxo bank is the team with the most nations represented by their riders (Spain, Russia, Denmark, Ukraine, Belarus, the Netherlands, & Argentina). By my count, there will be riders from a total of 23 nations riding in this year's Vuelta. Leipheimer, riding for Astana, is the only rider from the United States in this year's Vuelta.
You can check out the official Vuelta sight at lavuelta.com.

Beltran Positive for EPO
Manuel Beltran (Liquigas) has tested positive for EPO. Testing of his A sample taken July 5th, after the first stage of the Tour de France, indicated the presence of EPO in his system.

How do you suppose Dorel feels about this given that teams face a €100,000 fine if a link can be established between a rider who returns a positive doping test and his team. Furthermore, Dorel had just renewed their sponsorship agreement with the Liquigas team. What are the potential implications of this positive test with respect to the team's sponsorship?
Already there's the potential that because of this Liquigas may not ride La Vuelta a España.
