I definitely agree, he will do better than his 12th eventually. This year he just doesn't seem up to it for what I've seen so far. He hasn't had the consistency and I think that the allergies and the asthma could have an impact this year on july. I hope that I'm wrong and he can do his best...
That's because he can't manage top 10, no way. He will start off good, I'm sure of it. But he will get very tired quickly and sink in the third week. You know it, I know it and even he knows that. Top 20 and a stage win is what he is after I reckon.

E: Kangert just retired (definitely not injured)...
Estonian TT championships today, panflat 42km. Kangert and Taaramae both will take it very seriously so could be interesting. Will also so Taaramae's form just before the tour. Both will be challenged by Gert Joeaar, who has shown good Tt form recently.
