My overall pick was Valverde (podium Valverde/Kloden/Evans-dark horse Contador) looks to have thrown it all away today. I still don't believe that Rasmussen will be able to hang on through the last TT. Evan brought back well over a minute on MR today and I think that he'll be able to hang on in the mountains and win it in the TT. Kloden is also in a good position as I think Astana is a better team than Lotto. Contador will finish higher than Levi although I'm not sure if he'll make the podium.

After today I think it's going to be between Evans, Contador and Rasmussen. I can see Contador gaining some significant time in tomorrow's stage.

Well, I'm not beating my chest and yelling " I told you so " yet, I'm not sure how Cadel will go by himself through the next 3 stages, but, I say this with tongue in cheek, I think some of you " stars n stripes" guys need to learn that " flashy and loud" is not as important as " smart and patient "
Anyway whoever wins......at last an unpredictable tour!!
