La Vuelta ciclista a España 2019 **Spoilers**

I read somewhere that TGH is Ineos's choice for GC

It's the latest fracky placky tacky-tick for marginal gains: name a rider as GC leader then have a different rider go for GC. It's worked a treat at the Tour twice!

Yes, I thought I'd read that too but they'll decide on the road maybe.
Which is kind of what mjr said...

It's the new thing to do "we will let the road decide"

Movistar have taken it to a new level...

...let nobody decide!

Worked pretty well for them at the Giro!

Sosa isn't on Ineos's provisional list now

I suppose if you fire enough bullets, one will hit the target eventually!
I don't think Carapaz was even one of the possibles at the start of the race.
Will Quintana and Valverde and Soler be riding committed in his support, I wonder?
I doubt they'll make it that simple

You're right and not even on the long list of 10 that I saw. All in for Tao?
Much as I like TGH I can't help thinking that reduces the list of GC contenders a bit. Who's left!

Not a chance Quintana will be riding for anyone but Quintana.

"The team's two co-leaders will be able to look towards Kenny Elissonde, Sebastián Henao and Vasil Kiryienka, a stage winner at the 2013 edition of the race, for help in the mountains."
Hmmm!
