It's too early to say who will win. Contador is obviously favourite, but Evans won't hand him the win, neither will Saster. I'd like to see Tony Martin up there with the big guns on the mountain stages. Maybe he should aim for overall KOM. Gonna be a great tour!

Armstrong looked Average. Only took 20 sec out of Sastre.

I watched Sastre destroy him in the Giro, and Sastre is definately not favourite above Contador, Evans and Schleck.

 

So much for :"I would've kicked their arses..."

 

Sorry Mr. Armstrong, behind Dennis Menchov, tonight you were THE BIGGEST LOSER.

 

4th on the Astana Roster.

not bitterness, rather amusement,

 

I would never expect humility from LA, "the greatest champion ever",

but rather respect for fellow champions / competitors.

 

The way I see it,

 

If you belittle your rivals, you belittle your Victory,

 

You can only be a Great Champion if you beat Great Rivals.

 

Today LA was not impressive, I can't wait for the mountains, Nibali, Krueziger, Schleck, Sastre, Contador, Martin, Gessink and even Evans all looked strong, the Cat 4 climb exposed who bought their climbing legs!

Did not think Lance was going to be so far back.  I expected him to be at least top 5 in GC.

 

I suppose 4 years is a long time.  But the fact that he has brought a passion for the tour can not be ignored.  3 times more people in Monaco than with the Grand Prix  .....................  That is a lot of people.   VIVE LE TOUR

I hope Lance had good Chamois cream on when he got the ass-raping he did on stage 1 and never mind the hard mountain stages.

 

 

 

As 101SCC said: So much for him killing his rivals.
