Who will win the rolling circus this year? Rolling Eyes
Who cares? Confused
Forgetting that Contador will win without ever having to breathe hard, and Andy Schleck will be second, who would you like to see win based on nothing other than your personal favouritism? Wink
Feel free to post your top 3 or top five as well.

If I were AC, I'd avoid eating any Spanish beef! Laughing

Well, it's been a little harsh for some guys thus far. It's all over rover for Wiggins & Horner, and some of the others have some serious time gaps to close.

Highlights so far? What do people think?

I was pretty happy when Cadel held out to beat Contador. That was nice. Also pretty happy to see Farrar get his first stage win. He's been knocking on that door for a while now.

I have to say I'm impressed by the job done by the BMC team to get Evans in the first row of the peloton at all times. They believe in him. This is the first time he's in such a good condition...

That's because AC didn't have his Spanish beef for breakfast... Twisted Evil

Impressive work by Voeckler and his team mate Pierre Rolland today.

It would be a great day for the French...even though he is really German (but doesn't acknowledge it).

I think it is a very remote chance, but………..

He only lost 1:48 to Evans on the same course 8 weeks ago. If he is wearing yellow and has a 2 minute lead. Wow! That would be the most exciting race since Fignon/LeMond in 89. Realistically, the chances of him keeping that 2 min lead are slim, but stranger things have happened.

I really hope he gets on the podium though.

No sour grapes...just don't enjoy watching grown men cry, specially when they have just won a major race. I don't think it does much for a sport where the men already wear spandex, shave their legs, wear a rainbow jersey when they are the World Champions, and give out polka dot and pink jerseys....

I never saw Armstrong, Hinault, Fignon, Lemond...etc. cry on the podium!
