Wasn't on this forum but I had A Schleck going all out for the yellow (I was told he was in bad form), Harmstrong nowhere at all (I was told he did brilliant in the prologue) and F Schleck 3 or 4. Obviously that one didn't work out.
I ewouldn't have got the green or the pois.
 
Uran didn't even start.

I didn't dare to post my prediction because I knew I would be woefully wrong. I said in the prediction thread that you're bound to get half of it wrong.
But I wrote it down on a list, and I must say, indeed, I was way off.

My top 10 was

1. Contador
2. A. Schleck
3. Basso (start laughing now)
4. Gesink
5. F. Schleck
6. Menchov
7. S. Sanchez
8. Kreuziger
9. Armstrong
10. Vinokourov

Decent, but way off in order... and ofcourse massively overrated Gesink :D

I don't posted it there, but that was my top 10 prediction before TdF on the other forum.
I overrated Gesink and Roche as well, but 7 correct riders from top 10 isn't that bad :)

I thought Basso might be 3rd. (I understimated Giro) I thought Lance was a TOP10 lock. And I really believed Fränk Schleck was on form to even come close to TOP3...

Otherwise no major surpises for me.
