My heart still isn't in this tour, but the drug problems of Basso, Ulrich, etc, do open the field. I'm amazed at the number of American riders who all have a shot at making some some noise. Among them:
Floyd Landis
Levi Leipheimer
George Hincapie
Dave Zabriskie
Chris Horner
Bobbie Julich
Christian Vandevelde
Since it's the fourth of July weekend, here are My podium all-American picks:
Hncapie
Landis
Leipheimer
Semi-dark horses: Popovich or Salvodelli. One way or another, I'm betting Disco will be in yellow.
Now, let's see how long it takes for these predicitions to go down in flames.

George looked good in the TT. Second is probably perfect position... I know he wanted to win the prologue but this way Disco doesn't have to defend the Yellow Jersey. I really believe he will be the one to beat this year...... and I thought that before all the drug stuff cropped up. At any rate, an American 1-2-3 finish? Yikes! If you thought the French hated us befor.......
