Not a bad pick.:)

I wouldn't be surprised if Skeltor get a podium spot. Before you say he can't time trial worth a crap I know. Remember his top 10 finish in 2005. His final time trial probably wouldn't have been so bad if he didn't have the Jan breathing down his neck. Also a lot of the riders that finished in front of him are not racing.

You want to bet another beer?

My overall pick was Valverde (podium Valverde/Kloden/Evans-dark horse Contador) looks to have thrown it all away today. I still don't believe that Rasmussen will be able to hang on through the last TT. Evan brought back well over a minute on MR today and I think that he'll be able to hang on in the mountains and win it in the TT. Kloden is also in a good position as I think Astana is a better team than Lotto. Contador will finish higher than Levi although I'm not sure if he'll make the podium.

After today I think it's going to be between Evans, Contador and Rasmussen. I can see Contador gaining some significant time in tomorrow's stage.

The 14 fellows who picked Evans must fell pretty smart right now. Too bad you couldn't pick for Rasmussen.
The odds on him must have been formidable....


Well, I'm not beating my chest and yelling " I told you so " yet, I'm not sure how Cadel will go by himself through the next 3 stages, but, I say this with tongue in cheek, I think some of you " stars n stripes" guys need to learn that " flashy and loud" is not as important as " smart and patient " ;);)
Anyway whoever wins......at last an unpredictable tour!!
