3. Fränk Schleck
4. Wiggins
5. Klöden
6. Lance
7. Nibali
8. Vande Velde
9. Le Mevel
10. Astarloza

Klöden might be 6th and Lance 5th if Klöden ends up draggin Lance up. Vande Velde may have to give up top 10 if he buries himself for Wiggins who has a shot at the podium.

If LA had any decency, he would help Kloden to a podium spot. It would be a fitting thank you for hauling a tired 38-year-old a$$ up the Verbier. But as I said, it requires decency, so it won't happen. My money is on Frank. By the way, Nibali still has an outside chance as well. For him to make up 2' on the Ventoux is a slight possibility.

Frank will probably take it.


It will be very interesting how Astana rides. Surely AC won't be foolish enough to attack again? Will he help AK or LA? I see Andy trying to ride more for Frank then try to take on AC.

I think Fränk Schleck will take it. Ventoux is going to be a very interesting stage with so many people fighting for the final podium spot.

AC will help the Schelcks into 2nd and 3rd by attacking his own teammates up Mt. Ventoux.

I don't think Contador will have to help at all; The Brothers Schleck have proven themselves capable of dropping everyone else on their own. Contador will just follow when it happens, and, since it's the last chance, the pace will be too high for Kloden to go with them.

So. Frank takes third overall and Kloden, Amrstrong, Wiggins, and Nibali come to the line together. Maybe Armstrong puts in an attack towards the end to try to limit his losses.

After reading what Armstrong just said about Contador, I am the biggest Frank Schleck fan on the planet. I wish I had some packed cells doused with EPO and crack that I could send him. I hope he drops the Uniballer at the bottom and puts 20 minutes into that classless punk.

I think it will be Frankie. Obviosly he's stronger than Klodi or LA on steep climbs as mont ventoux. Andy will help him. Much depends on AC but I can't imagine Conta carrying AK or LA because it's improbable veterans will be able to hold Schleck brothers' tempo and Contador dont want to give a stage win to anyone...
