Re: Early Tour Favorite
Contador, Leipheimer, and Kloden will finish 1-2-3 at the Tour, after winning all of the major mountain stages and the time trials, which Leipheimer will win by a collective 7 minutes. But some solace will be had by fans in watching them squirm on the final podium as they realize how foolish they look. Caisse riders will take the next 4 spots.

Re: Early Tour Favorite
I think Astana has the three best chances. Evans has a shot but his team isn't strong enough. The loss of Horner and addition of Popovych makes them no better than last year. Astana, however, is better than Discovery was last year.

Re: Early Tour Favorite
To make things interesting I will go on the theory that Astana never reaches the starting line.
Evans will still find a way not to win. It will be Cunego.

I appreciate that in these day's of smuggled blood-bags, a world class TT'er can emerge overnight, but IMHO, Damiano is not going to be able to make up in the hills, the time he's going to lose in the flat TT's.

It is a bit of a long shot, but my thinking is that Cunego has said he will target the Tour next year. There are fewer time trial kilometers than usual, and Cunego has shown some ability in that area during the last two seasons. The route next year is very interesting. It looks like some stages could get a little crazy and favor a man who can handle himself in a one day race; riders who cannot may lose time.
