TdF Picks

1. Lance
2. Wiggo
3. Evans
4. Contador

Yes, I realize how great of a climber Alberto is, but take away the team he had last year that brought back all the attacks and there's his chink in the armour. Wiggo's performance last year was proof to himself that he can win and I expect him to come back in better form. Evans got screwed last year with a weak team that couldn't support a tour contender. I see this as his best chance to make something happen. If he approaches the Tour with determination and not a whiny attitude, he could do better than 3rd. Then there's this Lance guy that no one has heard of (7 times). The 'Old Guy' came back after 3 years off and finished quite well wouldn't you say. There is no doubt that he could have done more damage on GC had he not had to support Contador. He's playing down the teams focus at the Tour and talking up Alberto's climbing ability, I ain't buyin it. Sure I'm a big fan of Lance, not afraid to admit that, but if your from the MN WI area you gotta support a team that picks up riders like Bjorn Selander.
