Part of me wants to pick Armstrong cos I think he wants it bad enough, but I'll go with Kirchen cos he's in my fantasy team and it's time for him to do something
But if Cancellara beats Armstrong I will be happier than if Freire wins the stage. In fact if Contador beats Armstrong I will also be happy. Even if it is only a tiny little hill.
On the other hand, it would annoy so many people if Armstrong is in yellow it is almost worth it. Nah, no yellow for Armstrong it would give too many people the belief in Hollywood stories. Do I sound like I am waffling?
The only way I am going to get to the top of this league is to NOT pick Contador, and be right. If Contador wins, I will be even further behind, so it is double of quits. If I pick Alberto I won't ever pick up points on anyone, that is, all the Contador people. So I can't really pick Contador. Anyway, I though my man would win anyway, and when Kathy picked him I knew it was right, even if she did pick Pozzato today.
I pick (for stage seven)
A Schleck
The thing is that I had in mind picking Moncoutié, but I think he will save his big Virenque/Jalabert style all day attack for a stage with more mountain points in it. This stage I think he will just fish as high as he can, along with Sastre, for example, who also has to gain time.
That's the nature of the Tour predictability. Look at the scoring, this week.
I'm torn between Schleckette and Contador.
Against my better judgement and with boring inevitability, I FP Bertie, please.
(playing a Riis like waiting for the 3rd week to attack, strategy.)
Go Kreuziger!
I really fancy Menchov on this Finish but I'll stay with my each way bet. _________________ It's all Publicity "Money" and Cycling is only a Thread it runs along.

I seem to have mixed up my stages so for Stage 7 will change just for the hell of it to....Cadel Evansplease.
I can't see a French rider being allowed to escape again for a few days and Asstana in-fighting will screw Bertie.
LL Sanchez is a possibility but Cadel must win something, some day....
I am inclined to agree with my neighbours that the whole thing is drifting inexorably towards the inevitable ...... or as they say "Armstrong va gagner"
According to Kathys sheet its nailed on to be a Contador victory, just ask Slapshot 3 _________________ It is better to try to the utmost, fail and be visible rather than wait and hope
I am sure I speak for all posters in thanking Kathy for her time and effort in keeping this going so professionally _________________ Last km a.k.a "The Tewkesbury Badger"!!
