Paris-Nice 2007
Well, looks like David Millar is back on form after the prologue - I wonder if he's got the form to keep it going in the leader's jersey until next weekend. Just hope that he's doing it without the juice...

I realize there was quite a bit of debate leading up to this year's race, but I don't think they took out the climbs. Millar might hold the jersey one more day...

Too bad this is one of the easiest P-N routes I've seen in a long time.

I like Millar as much as the next guy, but I'm also a realist. The climbs aren't severe, but he'll still lose time to the specialists. I didn't mind seeing him win the prologue.

I could care less about his doping BS. I didn't like him before.

I don't think Millar will survive. I think it's going to come down to Contador, Levi, Luis Sanchez, Bobby Julich and Cadel Evans. All of these guys had pretty good prologues, and they can climb. Contador is just flying!! I am happy for David Millar.

I'm sure there are plenty of guys in the field who could easily take Millar down, but who knows what sort of form he can produce... Still too early to pick a winner, though - have to wait until the road starts heading uphill, despite the lack of serious climbs.

2007 Paris-Nice will be remembered as the one that almost wasn't. It needs some good juicy misbehaving by someone.
