Thank you ramsyll, but this past year has been a bit difficult and I have not kept up with the Pro Tour.
What I have seen is a very dominant Contador and an improved Cadel Evans.
I still like Andy Schleck, but his team was awful in the Giro.
If you want my picks, I am going with Evans and Schleck to be nosed out by Contador.

no worries joeshico...
oh no... not contador again... i just hate his guts. no doubt he has skills but i see him as a competitor without any class after last year's "no competition ethic" with andy schleck losing his chain ! add that to the alleged doping due to contaminated meat... are u serious contaminated meat - you pump the meat with steroids and when you're caught blame it on the meat !!
yeah... i was kinda hoping andy will upstage contador this time around but he will definitely have his work cut out this time without a good team backing. well.. i can still hope...
anyway... hope you can still pop in and perhaps just drop some of your predictions in some of the stages...
cheers & thanks.
