It's A Whole New Race
It is possible that any one of the top three can be in yellow at the
end of the Saturday TT. It's also possible that Popo could gain enough time on Valverde to put him into 6th. Imagine the position of Discovery Channel looking for a new sponsor being able to say that they put 3 riders in the top 6 - especially if they take the top step! My guess is that Cadel will take the win but it's hard to say at this point. Levi has been known to really pull off super TT's every now and again. Contador has the capability of doing well but we have to remember that it's really difficult for someone under 25 to maintain total concentration without psyching themselves out. |

Where did you learn that? I know many Olympic Champions in a variety of sports who were under 25. As long as he is juiced he will be fine |

I think Contador has a score to settle with Evans when Cadel took the final time trial in the 2006 Tour of Romandie, leapfrogging over two Spaniards, one being Contador when he was with Liberty Seguros. Contador managed to finish 2nd, but I'm sure memories are not forgotten. It's a long-shot, but I'm pulling for Leipheimer, although the TT is 55.5km, 34.486 miles, news of the weird if he could make up 2'49" seconds in that distance. Shades of '89... wouldn't mind seeing another Fignon meltdown. -tom |

Levi better pack a lunch, otherwise known as a blood bag. |
