Contador is going to S*it in it,watched a fair bit of the giro and he was class above the rest in a real tough giro.
The only way they are going to beat him, is to continually attack him,but I just don't see the other riders doing
that,they will just ride conservatively and you are not going to beat him by doing that.
IMHO he shouldn't even be racing its a disgrace that they haven't sorted out his doping issue since last Oct.
As always love watching the Tour and really hope for some great stages.

But I love the tour every year. Whatever happens it'll be fascinating.

Fair assessment there - notwithstanding that this year Cadel has Hincapie as his main man. Too often Cadel has dropped his own team in the mountains and had to go alone when Schleck had his brother alongside him, or Contador had good support.

Cavendish wins a lot, but it's all or nothing for him. He also has a spotty record getting over the mountains. For all his wins, breaking records etc, he's never won the green. Although they've got a new points scheme aimed at rewarding stage winners more, should help. But it's hard to expect the same form from the guy this year as previous.
