Default Best young rider/ exciting time trial

I'm rooting for Voeckler but I think Karpets will catch him in the ITT.

Root for who will win white, talk about who's the best time trialist.

Thomas Voeckler
Karpets Vladimir @ 45"
Casar Sandy @ 1'56"

I just wonder what they win monetary wise if they win one of these competitions. It was funny watching Simoni win today on the Madelaine. Anyone know what his salary is? I know Aitor Gonzalez gets $700k a year and he hasn't done squat since winning the Tour of Spain a few years ago.

Heras is well over $1 million a year, and the tour was his primary objective. He should be fired.

I agree. Bummer for Voeckler but I don't think he has enough gap before the ITT.

Voeckler held off some guy called Lance Armstrong for 3 days longer than he was supposed to (in the yellow jersey), so I'm going to pick him in white in Paris. Then again, I don't know if the white jersey comes with the same super powers that the yellow jersey has, we'll have to see.

Mick Rogers will catch up 14 minutes and take the white jersey from everyones grasp. No really I reckon Vladimir Karpets will get the 45 seconds on Voekler. But I hope Thomas can pull something out of the bag and keep it.

Well at least Thomas will get the time breaks, so he'll know what he's got to do.
