My pick is Stuey O'Grady, he looked very comfortable on the climb during the aussie titles, we all know how well he can sprint and read a race

I picked Stuey. I don't know if it's because I think he'll win or just 'cause I want him to win.

i'll go for Cadel since he's the one Lance says he's keeping an eye on

oooohhhh and did everyone see the first stage winners disqualification for shoving!!!

Graeme Brown has a bit of a rep for irregular sprinting, he is very fast though.

This is a typical McEwen comment

"As far as I'm concerned, the officials did their job," said McEwen, disappointed with second, but clearly preferring to see Cooke rather than Brown in the leader's yellow jersey. "I would have liked to have won and I think I would have won, but I had my sprint impeded."

cheers!
