Zubeldia and Horner as dark horses from Team Astana?
Kloden is also listed for Astana.

I think one of the Liquigas guys will pull it out. They've had strong showing in both the Giro and TdF. Maybe Kreuziger or Bennati. Hell, Basso may finally come back to form.

It will be interesting to see Columbia supporting a GC rider without having to worry about stage hunting for Cavendish.

I wouldn't be surprised to see A. Schleck win though. He says he not riding to win, but if he's feeling good, why the hell not.
