I'm telling you guys, Armstrong won't win this year :p |
Nothing is a sure thing, there's still quite a few big competitors left and too many variables to declare a winner any earlier than the champs elysees.
Last year though many doubted him too and even though being dehydrated, having a couple nasty falls, marital troubles, constant attacking and teaming up by his foes, and more allegations of doping, he still won and to me thats amazing. I think hes learned a lot from last year (well I hope he did :) ) |

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's stage - should be killer! Hopefully Lance's main rivals will at least try something, to make the race more exciting.
Predicted winner (stage 12): M. Rasmussen - Rabobank. |

Not to jynx him, but Lance will win or finish in the top three the next two stages or he will not win the Tour. Just my opinion.
It's going to kill me though because I can't watch the live coverage this morning because a bunch of my cycling buddies are having a "tour party" tonight, so I have to wait until then to watch and find out the results. |

| Was present imo, basso was allready laughing 100 meters before the finish, anyway where were those so called great mountain goats as Mayo,Heras didn't see them at all :p |

Ok, so I was wrong about Rasmussen, but he gave it a good try :toothless
Thought Basso looked incredibly strong and I was impressed by the ease with which he followed Armstrong. Will also be interesting to see if Klöden is now captain of T-Mobile or they're still betting on Ullrich?
Should be a great stage tomorrow. Allez CSC! :cool: |

| Zubeldia out, and Mayo looks just about done. |
|

I saw that, looks like lot of big guns are done. I think Hamilton said hes got back problems from a crash earlier in the week.
Voekler(sp) is doing a good job for an unknown guy.
Ullrich looks done as well. |

yep, he is a great talent. He sure will have chances in the next year but i would bet on Basso for the next years(when armstrong is not there any more(?))

| Actually, Armstrong is supposed to do next year's Tour as well (as part of the Discovery Channel taking over US Postal's sponsorship). |
