Premature fanboy hysteria.
Cadel and Levi come to blows over who gets first choice of wheels to suck.

Cobblestones said:Other bets you might want to consider:
9:1 for Astana sweeping the podium.
Evans to win a stage: 3:1.
McEwen winning the green jersey: 10:1
Winning nationality: French at 40:1
ETA: o.k. can we let it rest now for another 4 weeks. Please.
elapid said:Happy to let it rest for 4 weeks, but McEwen is out with a fractured tibia. No chance to race the TdF.
Odds are based on bets placed, not on any sort of rational analysis.Cobblestones said:I know. I probably should've put a smiley on there, but those were supposed to be utter cr@pshoot bets with incredibly lousy odds. C'mon, Astana sweeping the podium? French overall win? Think about what would need to happen! Nothing short of divine intervention and miraculous healing. Btw. did you see the odds on Kohl and Rasmussen winning?

French police bust a car full of EPO crossing the border.
Teams pull out "in protest" or "in disgust".
Riders "protest"
Race descends into farce.
BigBoat said:I could be wrong but Lance is my main favorite. You have to remember, he's a freaky responder to the "medical program." Remember not everybody seems the same benfit from a doping program. Lance really is a freak responder. 37 years old? So what?! Thats not old at all. I race guys that are top cat 1 racers in their 40s and even 50s.

Contador wins overall
Voeckler attacks at least 4 times just after TV coverage begins including his standard first lap of Champs- Elysees!![]()
Forget about Soler, Barloworld is not invited. Besides his knee is screwed up.Belokki said:Every flat stage for Cav??
A bit too optimistic... He will have the most stage wins but won't win the green jersey... Benatti or Oscar for green, hope Boonen will have a say in this too...
Contador for overall
Lance will try to win a stage( maybe Ventoux), while helping Contador. He proved he can be a team player in the Giro...
Soler for the mountain jersey
Team Astana
Hope they'll bar Valverde from the Tour... Not to bee paranoid, but the spanish riders have it good! The spanish authorities and sports agencies are protecting their riders and are hiding precious evidence about a few dirty ones.... hope the dope saga will end... if they let Valverde race it would seem unfair to Petachi and Boonen who were barred from riding for far less!
kjetilraknerud said:I read that Pellizotti is doing the Tour this year as well. Liquigas look very strong to me, even stronger than at the Giro, with Kreuziger and Nibali together with Pellizotti. One of the strongest teams I'd say.
