Well, as Julich lost 2 minutes to Dekker last year and the route this year is a lot harder and has the Mont Ventoux to it, I really doubt Julich's chances. It should be up to the hilly climbers - the likes of Contador and Dekker as already mentioned.
But we should really watch out for the Italians. Cune, Danilo and Ricco will all look like favourites should they decide to race here. Vino should make a decent result as well, should he pick the French race.
And Addy, I don't think any of the French riders will be pushed from (rock) bottom to the top of the GC, simply because of the home race bonus. Sorry...
I think most of the italians will be in Italy at Tirreno-Adriatico. And not to crush any hopes, but France Televisions and a certain green bullet will take victory in Nice. Sorry.

i think you'll find a certain French rider won the TdF last year when better riders were riding
plus Dessel is a very good climber and has awesome recovery

Dessel is rubbish!
14th in Paris-Nice last year in a fairly weak field. 17th in the Giro and 18th in the Tour.
