white is U25...I'm thinking Andy Schleck will end up in it while burying himself for sastre.
green - bennati with ciolek an outside chance if 'columbia' ride for him
yellow - evans if his knee holds together
spots - soler if the favourites actually allow him to get away
DFL - Vansevenant for a hatrick

and the first to get the boot...let's just keep our fingers crossed that no one takes that 'honour'.

while frustrating that the best aren't going to be racing, it should make it more interesting. contador and boonen were no brainers, them being out has split the race for green and yellow wide open.

Oops, forgot about that:eek:

I have no idea about the classifications this year, but I'm interested to see how Cunego goes overall.

well it appears i've got no chance with this predication - bennati's out, and despite earlier reports cavendish is riding putting an end to ciolek's chances of green glory. i've got no idea now, not enough true sprint stages for cavendish or robbie to score enough points, they'll suffer too much with the constant climbs scattered throughout the climbs. maybe thor will take it again, CA have nothing else to ride for so he'll at least have some support. or zabel, would be nice to see him take it, and he's in with a real shot...hell, i'm just thinking out loud now, i have no idea.
