Good start for Cancellara - and although there is a long ITT, Frank Schleck proved in the Tour de Suisse that he is strong enough to win time back on the other stages. Top 3 is my aim.

Decent first stage, Dave Z got an ok 2nd place, and Cadel did alright. I'd be happy with a podium for Cadel.

Not a bad job by Valverde, he finished ahead of most of his rivals except Kloden, Dekker, and Evans, so things are looking good so far. I took the Franck Schleck approach from last year, by not being at my best in the Ardennes with the hope of peaking for the Le Tour.

Before the midseason started I had top 5 expectations here, now I'll be happy with top 10 since Popovych is utter shit! |

Well done by Dekker. Hopefully, he can get lots of time on the time trials - he will certainly need it. |
