Since he no longer is forced to ride for a french team, Cancellara will shine.

Everybody knows who's going to win it: Fuyu Li of course!
Just kidding.
Since Hushovd and Vaitkus' not showing up, good luck to all others
PS: I'm betting on Cancellara (well, not with money) |

It has worked - I hope. We'll now see if anyone has random riders missing.
Type of report - I'll make it up as I go along

The Nuyens shot reveals an Accumalux rider in blue, it must surely be Geraint Thomas!!! Meaning Cancellara is in that group

Amazing stuff from Hincapie. Last year he had a great lead hunted down late on by Boonen, and now he is hunting down Burghardt, surely Georgre must win now.
