or Cunego or Soler. So a real challenge this time.
I'll go for CVV since he seems to spend a lot of time on the deck. |

For information.
The French magazine Le Cycle, which I just bought, has the following picks for the Tour. No points or ranking, just a list with the usual rap attached to photos.
Yellow Contador, Armstrong, Sastre, both Schlecks, Evans. Outsiders are Kreuziger, LL Sanchez, Gesink, the young garde they call them.
Oddly, no mention of Menchov or VDV, whereas some of us think they will do quite well.
Spotted Pereiro, LL Sanchez, Gesink, Menchov, Moncoutié;
Green Freire, Cavendish, Haussler, Hushovd
Nothing on White. |

This is as far as I've got:
KOM - Moncoutié
Points - Freire
Young rider - Andy Schleck
I'm still wondering whether the Astana situation is going to hinder Berto's chances of GC

I had Menchov for the Giro, shows I can't even do negative predictions
