Carlos Sastre is expected to announce today that he will ride the Vuelta a España, reports AS. The Spaniard, who finished one place behind Denis Menchov in last year's race, will join his compatriots Oscar Pereiro and Alejandro Valverde as some of the top stars for the Spanish tour.
Menchov, who is yet to find out whether he was first or second in last year's race pending an appeal by Roberto Heras, will return to defend his placing, while Euskaltel's Haimar Zubeldia and Iban Mayo will also be in the picture.
