Well let's hope Schleck's climbing form is not 100% yet, otherwise he wins it thanks to this
Either way, it's probably going to be decided on the time trial. The mountains of this tour aren't steep enough to create that much difference.
And: Mattttiiiii! Gotta love that guy. |

The only "real" mountain stage here is Crans-Montana. Before that, differences will be due to tactics, not terrain. |

I'd say Valjavec, Kloeden (won't be consistent enough in moutains), and Kreuziger.
I can't see Andy Schleck winning this TdS with a 30km long TT, and so poor steep mountains. |

I must admit I don't see Andy winning either. In top form he would undoubtedly win, but like last year I don't think he is at his peak right now. Last year I remember him not being able to follow the likes of Kirchen and Løkvist in the mountains, and I see him losing some time on a guy like Kreuziger in the mountains this year aswell. He's aiming for the Le Tour and not this race obviously.

It's still possible. His "peak form window" is abnormally small, but in this Tour de Suisse there are only two stages where he has to dig deep: the last two.
However, It's only natural if he saves himself for the Tour. |

People claim the Schlecks are very alike, but in form-peaking, they are total opposite.
Fränk is good all year long, and there is almost no difference between him normally and him in peak form. Andy is completely different from that. |

So, let's go.
I'm curious about Cancellaras performance now. Everyone in Switzerland thinks he's able to win the Tour this year. I doubt that... |
