given the strength of this year's field (versus last year's), don't think sastre has a chance to
win; outside shot at a podium place. he's going to have to go multiple times on multiple
mountain stages like he did at this year's giro. waiting until this year's alpe d'huez won't work.
no way astana will let him get more than a minute on the ventoux-stage 20.
they may be dumb but they ain't stupid. sastre's going to lose another minute plus to strong
tt'ers like levi, kloden, lance, menchov, evans on stage 18's time trial around the lake.
