I believe in fairy tales. Sastre would win if he doesn't try and win the giro. Basso second, frank schleck third.

The best I remember watching is Erik Decker. Didn't he win 3 stages in one Tdf out of break aways. I remember one in particular that was so close him and the 1st sprinter where given the same time.

Would like to see him go to vasconleil.

Maybe not really good for the more explosive climbers like anton and gesink. the diesel engines should be the ones still fighting by week 3. Maybe not all bad for menchov, sastre will like the route. It's crazy hard. And is it stage 12 that's profile looks like the edge of a saw, could b as...

I am looking foward to seeing how contador and andy schleck react to a attack from sastre like he did when he won the tour and those 2 stages in the giro last year. i just hope hes going well enough to launch one. any one got any ideas, will they go with him? will they let him go and try reel...

I used to be addamant astana was not strong enough to support contador, but am now thinking i couldnt have been more wrong. Contador vino pierero de la fuente jesus hernadez for the mountains, and they have **** loads of strong riders for the flat it may not be as strong as liquigas and...

Ive never been so excited to watch a grand tour. so much different things could happen, i was picking sastre, but in the last week, vino WOW! and thinking maybe evans can wheel suck his way to victory if vino has a bad day, after getting rid of satre and pellozoti in the medium mountains or on...

sastre never shows form before he has to, remember his form in the dauphine before he won le tour?

he sure proved me wrong, well done to that man

well im not convinced cadel will win them anything this season, he cant do every race, after the this weeks over, hes back to preparing for the giro, so unless he gets a classic victory, hes not gunna win anything b4 the giro, and then between the giro and tour. i cant see him winning anything...

I would make a ranking system, top 12 teams get automatically selected, and the further 10 at the ASOs discretion. The top 12 teams and the 1st 6 wild cards get anounced in January, and then each of the 4 remaining wild cards anounced after the paris - nice,classics, giro, and the final one...

I really hope sastre wins the giro. Got to love seeing an older rider coming in to his own at the end of his career, and the fact hes got no drug ties either makes me support him. I also think people seem to under rate his preformances in recent times, due to the fact he never raced contador...

i really hope he turns up in good nick, he could make the race soo much more exciting. i dont see why we are concerned to much about how he goes in the tts as there is less than 30km of flat tts in the race, but last time they had the plan de corones tt, he was riding it, maybe for caisse at...

Cadel cant climb with sastre, wouldnt think he could climb with pellozoti either. there is only 23km of itt, cadel will loose time in the ttt. dont think cadel will get any real benefit out of the plan de crones itt, and didnt pellozoti win that stage last time? I just hope Rujano is on form...

good point, i still expected him to be able to take a couple of his domestiques where ever he ended up though
