I feel like the tdt(team drinking train) should be strong on Astana, especially after getting into the maglia rosa. The main rival of Gorilla Griepel is down with the ****s too, so HTC wont pose that much of a threat. Id keep an eye on BMC though, they've been riding like their drunk already.

OK, That WAS a classic

But Back on topic

Sky for me, Garmin, did have had a chance... before Van der Velde+Stage 3+road=badness

You know that Saxo and HTC will be pretty good as well, they both have some good power riders and the short distance will suit that

I've heard Sky were going to spend the day writing blogs on the race but all their computers crashed at the same time.

Andre Greipel is spending the day in Holland trying to find the wheel he lost during the sprint yesterday.
