Here is how I see things for GC. After Stage 10

Evans
Sastre
Menchov
Vandevelde
Schleck
Ricco
Valverde

Evans may win by the ITT. and not by much. He will lose the Jersey in the next mountains to CSC and let them do the work

Sastre will get much time in the mountains as will Ricco ( Alp D Huez )

Menchov will have a bad day and has never finished ahead of Sastre so you are fooling yourself to think this will happen again. he gets weaker as the tour continues and Sastre tends to improve

Vandevelde will have a bad day but make it up in the ITT. THe second half of the tour is where the men and the boys are separated. I would love to see him surprise me and win the entire thing but I don't think the legs will be there in the Alps.

Schleck will lose time holding the jersey and defending while Sastre Attack

Ricco will move to top 3 but lose time in the ITT

Valverde will claw his way back into 6th place.

Jens Voigt will be near death by the end of the tour.
