Hi Heather - I liked that info - thanks.

The Vuelta changed from spring to autumn in order to attract more riders
from outside Spain; the Giro was seen as a better warm up for the Tour
and so most of the top riders chose to skip the Vuelta. The race also
got hillier and the stages got shorter to make the whole three weeks
more exciting for the fans and it certainly seems to have worked - the
last few Vueltas have been real nail biters. Angliru was probably a
mistake but the Vuelta organizers have really made some good steps to
make the Vuelta a major race in its own right and not just a consolation
prize for riders that didn't do well in the Tour.
