OK, this is where you stick your neck out with predictions for outcomes of this years TdF.

I've been unimpressed with peoples' "expert" knowledge of this sport (which is really a show btw).

I'll go first:

Contador surprises many with an epic win on Alpe d'Huez, matching Pantani's previous record climbing speed, but Contador does it after an entirely brutal stage and an entirely brutal 3 weeks already ridden.

He gains minutes with his attack but it still leaves him in 3rd position on GC but only a minute behind 1st.

The UCI kicks Contador out of the tour before the ITT, for a ridiculous reason like Rasmussen but does not strip him of last year's title.
