I think each team could realistically win 2-3 stages at the TDF. 1 or 2 for Greipel and 1 for one of Vanendert/ JVDB. OPQS will in my view only win 2-3 and those will be in the ITT's ( though a resurgent Cancellara could stop even that ).

Buffalo Soldier said:So OPQS just got a nice selection of national jerseys.
Which is good, since they don't follow the awful trend of hiding the national colors in the regular shirt design, like movistar...
Machu Picchu said:So Andre Greipel continues his fight against the Omega machine, good tour for him with two wins already.
OPQS: 38
Lotto: 21
2-0 for Lotto on the tour
