Going on today's TT, Wiggins should also now be the favorite for the uphill TT in my opinion
Of course his form is superb currently whilst other GC contenders isnt so, but today ,was barring Westra, a true decimation in terms of the time.

Everyone he decimated will be nowhere in the Tour. Barring Leipheimer, who is obviously feeling the aftermath of the crashes.

Cadel will not be able to keep up with Andy uphill, not if Andy goes full on that is. As 2010 showed Andy is a superior climber and aint nothing anyone present in the 2010 Tour can do about that.

Of course if Radioshack merely set a high pace then Cadel will struggle less than others, though I also expect Sanchez Gesink VDB Nibali to manage very well.

I don't know what you mean by 2010 showing andy is a superior climber.

Evans crashed out of the tour, when he was in the yellow jersey.:confused:

Overall BW>CE=DM.

I suspect:

. BW fastest in prologue and hilly TT then close behind DM in final TT
. DM slowest prologue, close to CE in hilly TT (slowed by his relatively poor handling), then just in front of BW and CE in final.

Note:

BW docked a bit as I am doubtful he will be omnipotent in final TT after 3 hard weeks
DM will probably have some bike handling issue somewhere along the line but still be strong in last TT
CE will be solid throughout

Of course all 3 could crash and struggle to make Paris.

overall I think wiggins will TT slightly better than evans. But evans can get the time back on the descents and climbs.

One nil Wiggins as expected he was always the strongest in the prologue compared to the other 2....

Menchov beating Evans is of course the surprise package..
