ha...ha and once more...ha!
Dessel is old, past his prime and lacks skill
Contador is young, is stronger than ever and is very talented
ermm who of these 2 will do better...I put 5$ on Alberto

Will Julich be able to kick your butts on his old day??? I hope he'll take yellow in the proloque and keep it all the way to nice |

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 don't think Dekker will win this one. He might take a stage victory, but I don't think he'll win overall. Contador is much more likely, so is Danilo Di Luca. |
