He certanily will be faster than rasmusen on ITT and that will help him to win this TDFBro Deal said:Valverde now has undisputed leadership of his team. Karpets and Pereiro are gone. The big question is how good of a long time trial can he do? He isn't climbing well enough to distance the riders we know can TT well.
He can do a decent time trial. Last year at the Tour he sucked though.rockinchair said:Leipheimer
Dude he was toast last year after having 'zero' help in the mountains - yes zero. However I do think Klodin is probably a bit better (definitely not 3 mins though). Although the first ITT suits Cadel well IMO.Bro Deal said:Evans lost three minutes to Kloden in last year's final ITT.
He took 8th place so he was not exactly toast, and he does not really have any more support in the mountains this year. Horner is riding well, but Horner is like thirty-five or thirty-six (I forget). There is only so much Horner can do.existence said:Dude he was toast last year after having 'zero' help in the mountains - yes zero.

Kloden has been the puller thus far so if can get support in the Pyrenees he might be able to put some time into the other contenders and then TT their tits off for the win.
Of course it is too early for anyone to book a victory tour.

Ferrari's juice may make you ride faster but it can't remedy disappoint...... now what about feeding some of Kazahstajdhjdhfstans poor rather than sponsoring a cycling team.... I for one are glad Vino farked up....... if he won it would be more money in the Ferrari bank..... not good for cycling.....Klodifan said:I agree. I just hope Astana gets it together.

Good for him. Always the most constant rider. I would like for him to win another TdF stage.jhuskey said:The big question is...will Zabel be the only sprinter left to go for the stage win in the last flat stage?
He does his work, picks up his paycheck, goes home! Remember that he is a top contender for two ITT stages yet to come; saving himself for that after doing his team work early in the stages. My guess, anyway.Smilf said:I thought Dave Z had improved his climbing? He's been finishing almost dead last! 2nd to last overall.
