Very excited for this, will hopefully be a good year with no to many crashes and drug incidents.

I would like to see Lance get a yellow jersey again but not sure if it will happen, be nice to see Evens (sp?) win.

Does anyone no what time it starts on SBS eastern Australia?

It's on SBS one at 11:30pm.

Boonen back in? I'm quite suprised to be honest, it should shake the sprints up a bit.

The sleeping bag is out and prepped for 3 weeks of falling a sleep on the lounge :D. This is living!

Maillot jaune (Yellow Jersey): Contastrong or Armador. New secret doping techniques will mix the blood of both these riders creating two super riders! Just so long as Sastre doesn't win I don't mind who else does.
Maillot Vert (Green Jersey): Ferrari errrr Friere
Maillot à pois rouges (Polkadot Jersey): A.Schleck
Maillot blanc (White Jersey): dunno
Teams Classification (Yellow dossards): Saxo Bank?
Lantern rogue (Last rider to finish): who cares
Honte congé - Too many to name.......Lets say Contastrong. Both caught out cheating.

This is going to be great, looks like it will be the best Tour we've seen in a few years. I'd love to see Andy Schleck take Yellow, but we all know Contador will win provided Johan(sp?) and Lance dont get too nostalgic. Looks like Cav is going to have green as well if he can handle the mountains.

I found it funny this morning in the Canberra Times the top 5 contendors list consisted of Contador, Sastre, Armstrong, Evans and Rogers and Lance Armstrong was the most successful rider of all time.

I'm betting Evans will come second again and will:
1. Blame his team for not being strong enough to support him in the mountains;
2. Blame the other riders in the break for 'ganging up on him'; and
3. Lash out at the media and punch at least one cameraman.

Mark my words...
