My Tour Picks

This seems to be a popular thing at the moment, so why not give it a go?

Yellow
1. Lance
2. Contador
3. Evans

Why Lance? This years tour is going to be more about mental toughness than anything. No bad days allowed. I think Lance has the maturity and will have good enough legs (12th at the Giro shows he could be coming in just right for the tour). Maybe I'm just American, but I feel Contador will have a bad day with all the pressure and thus loose it.

Green
1. Cav
2. Farrar
3. Freire

The only upset to this would be if Boonen gets to come. Which I hope he does. Maybe cocaine isn't so good...but this is going to be the best tour that's happened in a long long time....and yes, maybe ever. It would be a shame for Boonen not to be a part of it.

Dotted
1. Schlek
2. Sastre
3. Schlek

This one is kind of up in the air, but I felt like I had to throw the Schlek's and Sastre in there somewhere...I really don't feel it'll end this way.

With the course and people racing this years tour, it will without a doubt be the best tour I've ever seen, and arguably the best ever.

Roanoke on Saturday. Good luck to anyone racing this weekend, have a safe trip and ride.

Race recap Sunday.
