Personally I think Leipheimer, Van Garderen or anyone from Garmin will win. Baldy should be awesome.
Todays stage I hope is won by Sagan only because I bet on him.

Is the AToC now worth its own thread? I guess it's now officially the 4th GT then.  |

Sure nice to hear Sherwan and Ligget back in action. It's a shame they don't do every race |

Honestly, I've no idea who looks the best to win this. Leipheimer would be a chance, but then again, he is getting old. Dave Zabriskie doesn't seem to have a chance due to Mt. Baldy. So, I think maybe Tejay Van Garderen or Ryder Hesjedal (if he's racing, and depending on his form) are the ones with the best chances. Curious to see what Sutherland does here, I've read he wanted a podium. |

I think they brought the break too early, lets hope for some attacks.

OH. MY. GOD! Is this a joke or is there seriously a team called "Jelly Belly"?! That is the most awesome name in history!
How have I lived my life without knowing about this team?? |

Nah, that's too flat, and looks like too straight for something other than a sprint. |

The team exists since 2000 with this name. You really missed it a long time.  |

Hesjedal is definitely not going for the GC, as he's chasing on the front. Things could change but it doesn't look like he will be leader, not that I was expecting he would be, just hoping.

When I was younger I used to find Rabobank's name as very funny (Rabo is Spanish for dick).
Ah, inmature humor. It rocks. |

With Vandevelde and Zabriskie they have other riders. Especially Zabriskie wants his first iwin after two 2nd in this race. I don`T think he can beat the others on the mountain but we will see. |
