interesting bike blog...i'll be linking you to me..
cheers.
keep riding safe =)
Interesting route next year. No team time trial and only one individual time trial - My money is on Andy schleck for GC in 2010.
Tips
1) Andy schleck
2) Alberto Contador
3) Bradley Wiggins
Got to agree with you Scuba Steve.
I like Andy a lot, but I think it's time for Cadel Evans to show what he can do. He needs a commitment from his team to work for him. This is why he failed the past two years (no team support). He may get that this year.
