Highly unlikely ot see Tom in yellow..... Green? You better believe it!
Bull...the prologue is only 7km long...how much time could Tom lose? (or anyone else for that matter!). All Boonen needs to do to be in yellow is not get 'smashed' in the prologue, then set about winning most of the next 6 stages (if he can knock over Robbie)...theres no serious hills until stage 10...,but the ITT in stage 7 won't favour him, but if Tom is in any sort of form at all, I'd be surprised if he doesn't wear yellow in the 1st week
