I am a Andy fan but i don't think he has a chance this year.He can't even stay on his bike in the wind,i just wonder what was in his water bottles

[Cav']

Wiggins,Hesjedal or Evans

['Dale]

Cadel now knows how to win and has overcome this 'mental' hurdle after several 2nd spots.

He has an awesome team to back him up.

One drawback was Hushovd's withdrawal because of a viral infection.

Hope to see Hunter there for Garmin-Barracuda.

GreenEdge have listed Daryl Impey but he is also on the SA Olympic squad,so not sure what he will ride.

[Cheese]

Robert Gesink from rabobank not mentioned. Sure he will be close if not on the poduim.

Thats quite interessting, alsmost like the football club vs country debate. If it were me I would do the TdF without a doubt.

[rattlesnake]

Cobo is definitely a dark horse in this contest..... the boy can climb!~

Wiggo is looking strong, that being said he also put a minute + into Cadel in last years Daupine TT.

And Cadel is one tough S.O.B. and I think he will peak at the right time, so he is my favourite to win.

 

Think there is too much dissention in the ranks at Radioshcleck.... so im guessing their fragile pshyce's wont help their cause.
