Im looking forward to this, some tough stages with a bit of everything. There are a few contenders out there, dekker, sastre, horner etc. How do you see this one playing out? Anyone got a start list so we can pick favourites..
Suppose i will go for Dekker. Won last year and has been going really well recently. Should be able to rely on Menchov for support as well. Cyclingnews seems to think the mountain stage this year is possibly the hardest so maybe that one will be a bit more decisive than last year. However, Dekker was at the front on that stage so maybe that will make no difference. John Gadret may benefit more from the harder mountain stage though. Big unknown is surely Kloden. He doesnt seem to have much form, has been ill and is out of favour at Astana. Could he come back with a bang? Personally i think he will finish maybe 10th or something.
