is the vuelta at risk?

[MattTuck]

Spain is seeing some serious disruptions in government services, combined with a terrible economic environment.

Will the vuelta go the way of the Longsjo classic and cancel this year?

If it does go on, will we see protests that block the race like in "a sunday in hell"?

This is an interesting story. Who knows, now AS will have more time to train.

I don't know, but after Levi's injury in Spain (and report of lack of treatment related to economy) I'd be scared to be a pro-cyclist and get injured in Spain.

Will RSNT lose their Vuelta invite, prompting the implosion of the teamso Mandy and the boys can toe-up under a different team?

2012, the lost year.
