Mirrior, mirrior, on the wall....

...who's the biggest doper of them all?

Well the Tour starts tomorrow and I think this will be one of the best Tours since the retirement of singlenut.

Who will win? Who do you think? My money (and the money of Nike, Oakley, Trek, etc) is on the "comeback kid".

Why? Science. His "body chemistry" will be worlds above any other competitor.

Sure, the Schlecks will attack in the mountains, but they can't TT.

Sastre won last year by default. He can climb and TT, but I think the many Astana bullets will shoot him down.

Evans just lost his lieutenant, Dekker, due to what else? Doping. Evans rides like Levi: a pu$$y.

Menchov won't be able to stay on the wheels in the Alps.

Contador is the real challenger here. Some in the know sources think he'll make a mental mistake. I don't see it. I see him getting flat out beat in the mountains by his boss, LA.

Remember: theres only a prologue, TTT, and one ITT (40k). This levels the field against the bionic man (men) of Astana. That's why this will be an exciting one to watch.

It all comes down to Mt. Ventoux the second to last day. If you watch one stage, this is the one to see. Every contender will think about that stage from the beginning. I've ridden Ventoux and it is truly all its hyped up to be.

The sprinters will bring some excitement as well:
Boonen

Cavendish

McEwen

Farrar

My pick for green: Cavendish.

Bike Jockey (climber): some dude nobody will know until he gets in 4 breaks during the first half then will "defend" for the rest of the ride. Likely a Euskaltel rider: Anton? Maybe a Schleck will make it interesting...
