There will be exactly 4 yellow jerseys. (Gilbert, Hushovd, Voeckler, and Andy)
Voeckler will get the yellow jersey on Stage 9, but will not win the stage.

This mini-prediction is doing quite well so far! :D

Great predicion but you fail because you were supposed to use rider nicknames rather than their real names;)

Also why did you edit it today?

Just to get my immature Contador-steak joke off, I promise!

1. Cadel Evans - Pops Schleck in the final time trial to win
2. Andy Schleck - Fades in the final TT after dominating in the mountains
3. Basso
4. Alberto - Giro will take something out of him after all
5. Gesink
6. Wiggans
7. Frank Schleck
8. Sanchez
9. Horner
10. Vinooooooo

Notable emmissions:
VBD2 - wisely decides to take a year off the TB-500
Leipheimer - forgets to shave his head one morning and looses time to Horner thus losing team leadership
Kloden - decides mid race to start up a new 'clean' fully German team with with Hondo and looses time laughing at the irony
Brajovic - 11th
Vande Velde -crashes heavily in neutral zone of stage 1 passage de Gois and is out for the whole tour
Roche - Gadret's earing gets interlocked with Nico's and both are forced to abandon the race
Hejadel - It would be a surprise to not see a garmin rider in the top 10 for once
Cunego - Mantova springs up mid race and he is removed from competition

Green: Goss
Polka: Kern
White: Gesink
This was a good 'un. Wierdly accurate in parts.

10 Le mevel

green - Cunego
kom - moncoutie
white jersey - taamare



my guess work.... I think contador will have suffered too much in the giro and wont be able to compete well and go for stage wins... gesink will fall and hurt himself( I don't predict this because I just noticed i forgot about him :S) and ehhh I really have no idea, but andy to win and wiggins to be back at his 2009 best.
who makes these predictions, not even one right, although I wasnt too far off about gesink. :cool:

Cav will win the green jersey, but Farrar will win Champs Elysses.

Soooooo close to getting the first one right, but oh well.

My Voeckler prediction was suprisingly right, and I'd love to see my Farrar prediction ring true!

10. Wiggins

Green: Cav, then Petacchi
KoM: A Schleck
White: Gesink
Team: Radioshack

Others:
Mollema to send the Dutch wild as he gets in a breakaway and leads up the Alpe, only for A Schleck to come past him in the last couple of kilometres.

Intxausti to go for the stage win up to the Galibier.

Rolland to win a mountain stage.

Well the Rolland prediction was quite good if i say so myself but the rest wasnt so great.
