It's Vinokourov current way ahead @ 7 - 4.
Any why not ? A former Telekom rider who knows all the tricks. Riding
for a team set up by Saiz who knows all the tricks and with Godefroot
as a "consultant" who definitely knows all the tricks... and Prudhomme
says
"You can take the Tour seriously" - not this year Christian.

I pretty much agree, but Grodefroot's involvement is a concern. So long
as he's nowhere close to a radio or team car, I suppose it's alright.

He turns 34 in September. Not that it can't be done, but that isn't
a plus.

Or Vino might start to suffer from a severe case of deja vu.
