    The participating riders for the 2010 Tour of Spain and their numbersTonight at 10.04PM the Vuelta a España 2010 will start in Sevilla with a team time trial. Indeed, the Vuelta a España celebrates its 75th anniversary by starting with a nightly stage which will finish for the last team only at 11.42PM!!

    In this article you'll find the list of participants à la 65ème édition du Tour of Spain !

    22 teams participate in the Tour of Spain 2010 with each 9 riders (for a total of 198 riders). The participating teams are 17 of the 18 UCI ProTour teams (AG2R La Mondiale, Astana, Caisse d'Epargne, Euskaltel-Euskadi, Footon-Servetto, FDJ, Garmin-Transitions, Lampre-Farnese Vini, Liquigas-Doimo, Omega Pharma-Lotto, Quick Step, Rabobank, Team HTC-Columbia, Team Katusha, Team Milram, Team Saxo Bank and Team Sky; Team Radioshack having decided not to participate in the Vuelta) and the Continental Pro teams Andalucia-Cajasur, Bbox Bouygues Telecom, Cervélo TestTeam, Cofidis, le crédit en ligne and Xacobeo Galicia.

    The riders of these teams are all presented below:

    Cervélo TestTeam

    Thor HushovdThe winner of the Vuelta a España 2009, Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne), no longer being in the peloton, the Cervélo TestTeam has received the number 1 and the honour to wear it is for Iñigo Cuesta ... some sort of recognition for his 16 participations in the Vuelta?! As for the sprinters, the team will come to the start of the Vuelta a España 2010 with the experienced Thor Hushovd and the rooky in Grand Tours, Theo Bos. Bos explained on Dutch TV that Thor's main goal is to prepare the World Championships and as such he'll probably select only 2 stages on which he would like to test himself and the other sprint opportunities would thus be for the former Dutch track rider.
    Next to Thor Hushovd, the team will come to the start with the winner of the 2008 Tour de France, Carlos Sastre.

    Rabobank

    Denis MenchovThe Dutch team is mainly focusing on stage wins instead of the general classification. Denis Menchov will be the leader of the team, but they will see from day to day whether they'll have to fight for a good place in the general classification for the Russian rider or whether they continue to concentrate on stage wins.

He was quite happy with his result in the time trial where he finished 8th at 1'33" from his fellow countryman Gustav Erik Larsson (Team Saxo Bank).

    For the sprint finishes, Team Sky counts on Ben Swift while Juan Antonio Flecha and Simon Gerrans will try to get in one or more break aways to try to win a stage.

    162/ John-Lee Augustyn
    163/ Kjell Carlström

    168/ Ian Stannard
    169/ Ben Swift

    Team HTC-Columbia

    Mark CavendishIf you'd have to describe the HTC-Columbia team in this Vuelta a España in just a few words it would probably look something like: one sprinter - Mark Cavendish, two climbers - Kanstantsin Sivtsov and Peter Velits and one general classification contender - Tejay Van Garderen.

    Cavendish will do his very first Tour of Spain and he's quite aware of the many climbs in this race. However, after having passed the mountains without too much trouble during the Tour de France in July, he's quite confident he'll be able to do the same in September in the Vuelta!

    171/ Lars Ytting Bak
    172/ Mark Cavendish
    173/ Bernhard Eisel
    174/ Matthew Harley Goss
    175/ Hayden Roulston
    176/ Kanstantsin Siutsou
    177/ Tejay van Garderen
    178/ Martin Velits
    179/ Peter Velits

    Team Katusha

    Filippo PozzatoThe Russian team's target is to get both a stage win and a good spot in the general classification with Filippo Pozzato.

    181/ Joaquin Rodriguez Oliver
    182/ Gianpaolo Caruso
    183/ Denis Galimzyanov
    184/ Vladimir Gusev
    185/ Joan Horrach Rippoll
    186/ Vladimir Karpets
    187/ Alexandr Kolobnev
    188/ Mikhail Ignatiev
    189/ Filippo Pozzato

    Team Milram

    Niki TerpstraThe Dutch champion Niki Terpstra who recently announced his transfer to Quick Step for the 2011 season, will be leading the German team in Spain, together with Markus Fothen.

    The team's goal is to win at least one stage and to be riding in front in the break aways.

    191/ Robert Förster
    192/ Markus Fothen
    193/ Markus Eichler
    194/ Volodymir Gustov

    197/ Roy Sentjens
    198/ Niki Terpstra
    199/ Paul Voss

    Team Saxo Bank

    Andy SchleckThe Danish team which will be known under the name of its new main sponsor Sungard, will come to the 2010 Tour of Spain with the Schleck brothers, the recent winner of the 2010 Tour du Limousin, Gustav Erik Larsson and the Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara.

    The team initially also counted on the presence of Michael Mørkøv but since he was not on the list of riders which was given to the Vuelta organiser 20 days before the start of the race, the UCI rules made it impossible for him to participate. While the team chose Mørkøv instead of Baden Cooke, his place will finally be taken by Kasper Klostergaard.

    While the Danish team seems to be one of the favorites for today's team time trial, it will count on Juan José Haedo to try to get a stage win when it finishes with a sprint.

    201/ Anders Lund
    202/ Fabian Cancellara
    203/ Kasper Klostergaard Larsen
    204/ Juan José Haedo
    205/ Domenik Klemme
    206/ Gustav Larsson
    207/ Stuart O'Grady
    208/ Andy Schleck
    209/ Fränk Schleck

    Xacobeo Galicia

    The last Spanish team will come to the start with 8 Spanish riders and one Russian:

    211/ Ezequiel Mosquera Miguez
    212/ Gustavo Cesar Veloso
    213/ Delio Fernandez Cruz
    214/ David Garcia da Peña
    215/ Marcos Garcia Fernandez
    216/ Vladimir Isaichev
    217/ Serafin Martinez
    218/ Gonzalo Rabunal Rios
    219/ Gustavo Rodriguez Iglesias
