bad choice options on poll:you should choose between Di Luca or Astana..because Soler and Menchov is in training camp there. |

I voted for Klöden even tho he's quite fragile, he seems to be in decent/good form and a lot of TT's this year in the giro, compared to other years.
I don't believe in Contador, cause he just had an tooth operation, is allergic to polls(or how the fuck do you say this in english  ), and is preparing for Vuelta and Olympics. 
I also think Levi or even Bruseghin can win it should everything go their way :~) |

bruseghin is nowhere near good enough in the mountain and just about good enough in the TT even if I don't think he will hold his own against kloden or levi

Yeah, i'm not too enthused about picking menchov anymore in my earlier post. I was just getting back into loop and he didn't do too bad in romandie i think. |

Well, I can see how Astana could score an invite to the Tour de France if Contador somehow pulled off a Giro win even though you guys are saying it's impossible and won't happen but I think that would be the most convincing argument to admit Astana. I means, it's pretty hard to say no to a rider who's got a chance of pulling off the Giro and Tour double and dare I say, the impossible triple grand tours? But if Kloden wins, I would count on the Tour keeping their foot down. If Leipheimer wins, I'd give Astana 50/50 odds of making it into the Tour. |

Astana won't make it to le Tour no matter what. ASO will not give such a present to McQuaid. Plus ASO hates Bruyneel. |

As said, I don't believe there's any chance at all that Tour de France will invite Astana. First of all, it would seem like ASO were trying to please UCI if they did such a thing. Second of all, I certainly doubt that they see Contador and the rest of the former Discovery team as clean riders. They've always hated Lance and his companions, and this includes Bruyneel. Third of all, they do remember what happened at the Tour de France last year (which is also their official reason for excluding them - truth is, though, that it's just a part of the real story). No matter how well Contador will be doing in the Giro he won't get to compete in Tour de France this year. |

An Astana rider will win strongest team two riders really fancy there chances in levi and kloden. But i wouldnt count against Contador. I think im going to have a bet on levi to win it. |
