[QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2112712, member: 1917"] Cadel Evans is too conservative too win. A reduction in time trial kilometres will hurt him, the absence of time bonuses will help him. Either way he is far too short. He also has a very weak team behind him. The winner you are looking for Alejandro Valverde Belmonte - he's improved his ITT massively, displayed great maturity in the Dauphine and is supported by Perreio, Sanchez, Arroyo, Guituirrez etc. He's got the team, he's the most talented rider, it's his to win IMO. Cadel Evans is your Steven Bradbury of the tour - he wins if everyone else that's talented falls over. Boonen isn't racing, Steegemans will lead Quickstep along with the climber Stijn Devolder. Hushovd is favourite for the green, but my money is on Mark Cavendish. Quite an open event though as not many teams will be definitely going for this jersey, particularly now that Daniele Bennati is out. Polka dots will be an interesting one, I've unloaded on Leonardo Piepoli. Fantastic climber who has got a demonstrated history of chasing this jersey, if he goes for it then it'll be a beautiful thing to watch icon_thumbs_u [b]Jersey Predictions[/b] Yellow Winner: Alejandro Valverde Belmonte Darkhorse: Stijn Devolder Green Winner: Mark Cavendish Darkhorse: Damiano Cunego Polka Dot Winner: Leonardo Piepoli Darkhorse: Andy Schleck White Jersey Winner: Andy Schleck Darkhorse: Thomas Lokqvist [b]Aussie Predictions[/b] Baden Cooke: Crap. Will spend his time leading out Hunter. Cadel Evans: A boring podium behind my man Valverde Robbie McEwen: A few stage wins but no green. Simon Gerrans: Will ride in a breakaway during one of the transitional stages, will be a good bet when those stages come around. Stuart O'Grady: Weird seletion. What's his purpose in the team? Domestique I suppose, thought Julich would be better. Trent Lowe: He might get mentioned by the commentators. I don't even remember who the other aussies are - is McGhee racing? I don't think he is. The Rabobank aussies wont ride. Can't think of any other Aussies. [/QUOTE]
