I know there has been a lot of talk about Hincapie becomming the team leader at the TDF, but honestly has he ever placed as well in the GC as some of the other disco boys? What about people like Rubiera, Beltran, Acevedo, etc. Haven't they placed higher on GC compared with Hincapie? It seems like Big George wins a hard stage at the TDF last year and all of a sudden it's like he's the golden boy. I admit that he's a good rider, but I thought there were others on the team with better chances.

It's hard to tell what will happen since Bruyneel bluffs a lot. He's talked about Danielson being very good in the tour one day, but needs a few more grand tours in his legs. Popo probably has a decent chance but maybe not for a few years. Then there has been all the talk about Danielson and the Giro and how he's looking forward to hammering there and doing well - but I thought he was supposed to be in a support role for Savoldelli? I'm confused about what's going on there have been so many different comments from various sources.
