Could this be the year of the Vuelta?

Reading the admittedly self-serving remarks from the Vuelta's Victor 
Cordero- "It's clear that the podium of the Tour de France 2007 will be 
present in our race and not in France. This is something the other big
races 
are not able to say about themselves. The circuit and many riders of class

will ensure that the upcoming Vuelta will be the best of the three big 
races,"
(http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2008/may08/may01news)-

one has to wonder if this will, indeed, be the year of the Vuelta.

Especially if Astana ends up in the Giro afterall, leading many to wonder 
what the TdF could have been.

Anyone think there's any point at all in trying to convince VS to carry
more 
than the presently-scheduled single day of coverage?
