I'm going out on a limb here and picking LL over AC. But JV seems really fired up. That could be the Top 3.

 

[taiwan]

Could do with an "other" option. Having said that, I just voted Contador. How will Bert lose?

 

[theswordsman]

1. Alberto Contador


2. Luis Leon Sanchez
3. Jens Voigt
The gap between Contador & Sanchez was intentional

Jens is gonna make up for not going to the Criterium International

 

[franciep10]

going against contador is like betting against tyson in the 80's it's downright foolish

needs an other option I dont want to pick any of those.

 

[Credive]

I do believe this can get really exciting also in the 2010 version. Many contenders for the victory although I had to vote Contador as the huge favourite. However, I am open for surprises

 

[Ninety5rpm]

Yeah, but then I would have had to choose to not include one of the top 10 prologue finishes. The eventual overall winner is usually in the top 10 of the prologue.

2003: Vino finished the prologue in 10th and then won the overall.
2004: Jorg Jaksche wins prologue and overall.
2005: Julich gets 17th in prologue and wins overall (LA finished 140th at .27)
2006: Flandis wins overall after getting 11th in prologue 8 seconds after Flandis
2007: AC wins overall after tying LL and 2 others for 3rd in prologue
2008: Rebellin wins overall after 81st in prologue
2009: Luis-Leon Sanchez wins overall after 3rd in prologue

It's more fun betting on someone who isn't the favourite though

 

[franciep10]

not when you're betting money

 

[luckyboy]

Ha, was just going to add that

Anyway,

1. Voigt
2. Talabardon
3. Pereiro

Mark my words!

 

[taiwan]

Yeah, but then I would have had to choose to not include one of the top 10 prologue finishes. The eventual overall winner is usually in the top 10 of the prologue.

If you'd excluded one of them, they would've been covered by "other", though. If the big Spaniards are really trying to win it, a couple of those guys will likely drop out of contention, IMO.

 

[maltiv]

Voted for Sagan, just to be special.

Just specify who you think will win here in the comments. It counts just as much.

Who's this Albert Contador you speak of? A lot of people are voting for him!

Why isn't valverde up there?

 

[pmcg76]

Despite cracking last year, its very difficult to see past Contador.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I voted Lars Boom just for fun, know he is not going to win or even come close.

My real vote goes to Contador. He might not be at his best or as good as last year, but he doesn't need to be. Can't imagine anyone else winning unless he makes some mistake.

 

[taiwan]

Joaquim Rodriguez for a top five. The time trial's over, went well. He'll be able to hang out with Sanchez, Sanchez et al. if not Bert.

 

[Anonymous]

a sky rider?

a saxo rider actually.

 

[taiwan]

a saxo rider actually.

Frank Shleck or Jacob Fuglsang?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Has somebody had the tip off that Valverde is gonna get busted?
I can't think of any other reason, that he's not an option.
Think he stands a better chance than Millar, Tondo, Sagan, Boom and a couple of others.

I just listed the top 10 in the prologue as the choices.
