Podium places will be decided!

Fabulous Cancelara (Spartacus) will be the man to beat on the day.
But the biggest fights will be between the top 5 for podium spots!

And boney-ass Andy in a yellow skinsuit :o
Personally, I'll never be satisfied until they make a computer that prints bacon. That's exactly what I want.

Going by his current performance i think Evans will close the 57 sec gap.

Theres a little bump there in the middle I see, could play into climbers like the Schlecks hands for overall, Evans will be heavily motivated but 57 secs is still quite a gap to close.
I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather......not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car!.

Looking fwd to the TT! its going to be very interesting - one of the best TDFs to watch in a long time imo.

TT is exactly the same route as used in the Dauphine Libere. Riders who rode it, should know the route well.
Evans had a good TT in the Dauphine, came in 6th, 1'20" slower than Tony Martin. I think he timed his form right, but he spent 2 days in a row chasing, it must have tired him out.

It will help Evans that he knows the route - I think he will beat Frank on GC, but it will be close between him and Andy.

The Schlecks have an advantage in starting after Evans.
A real climber would never fit a 25 - Marco Pantani (EPO power?)

The weather doesn't seem to be a factor at Grenoble today.
Let's see how the day plays out !
