Menchov aiming for third Vuelta victory

Dennis Menchov has passed very much under the radar this season. Affected by allergies and physical problems at the Giro d'Italia, the Russian rarely featured in that race’s key moments as he finished a slightly disappointing eighth overall. Sidelined from the Tour de France for the first time in a decade as a result of his Geox-TMC team’s failure to get an invite, he instead rode the Tour of Austria, finishing fifth overall. He now looks towards the Veulta Espana which starts in less than three weeks.
