Obviously a lot of the riders will use this as preperation for the Tour, starting in a few weeks time. Ambitions of winning this race are always in question. Without Valverde, who finished 1st the past two years and Evans, who finished behind him both times, I think the podium will include: 1) Samuel Sanchez... 2) Contador... 3)Brajkovic.
Interesting to note: This smaller stage race has just about the same amount of TT kilometers as this year's TdF.
