I know its early, but who in this Tour impressed and what do you expect to see in next years Tour?
IMO, Liquigas is an up and coming squad. Pelzotti was very solid, Krueziger and Nibali are very strong and young riders. This will be a squad to recon with if held together.
I expect Garmin to come back with the Wiggins/Vandevelde combo. Contenders?
I predict Armstrong will lose about 10-15 lbs by next year and really comeback to fight it out with Contador. He offered Fiellue a contract and the young frenchman looks strong. I also expect Klodi on Radio Shacks team. Very interesting.
Contador? Where he ends up and with who? I think he replaces Sastre on Cervelo, Maybe Caisse de'Epargne with Louis Leon Sanchez? Wherever he ends up, clearly he's a dangerous man and the favorite.
Cavendish, well I hope Thor enjoyed the jersey, cause I don't think he'll ever wear it again. The missle is unstoppable. Columbia adds a GC contender. Contador? Would that not shake thing up?
Vino and the Chicken come back.
The Chicken is the only man in the last 2 years to take on Contador and beat him. Where does he end up? Relationship with Rabo over. Who will give him a chance?
I predict the 2010 Tour will be one for the ages.
I can't wait for the fall contract announcements.
