I don't have either of them in my top 10 GC for 2012 TdF.

You don't have Andy in your top10? That's insane imo. I don't know if he can win on this course, but unless he crashes, he's a lock for top10 imo.

And I'm going to say Andy to this question, if for no other reason but that I don't even know it's even a goal for Martin to finish high in the GC this year.

Shortly after the 2012 TdF route was unveiled, an article where Tony Martin said he liked it and how it suited him because of the time trials was put out. I'm pretty sure it also mentioned something about having a crack at the top 10.

I'm re-considering putting Andy in my top 10, perhaps around 7th place.

Tony could be 10 consecutive stages in yellow, if that isn't enough motivation...then I don't know what is. Remember what happened last year with Voeckler?

The prologue is only 6km. That should be too short for Tony.
If Cancellara is there he willw in it, no doubt.
