Luis León Sánchez is a huge talent too. Don't think he'll win the white jersey but he is a rider to follow. I think that Contador will take the white jersey this year. |

Caisse's team is pretty scary too, I think. But yes, let's see what happens on Wednesday (?) when the meeting has taken place.
Yes they seem to have a very strong team, all in support of Valverde! |

Is it me or does this year's TDF look a lot more grueling. |

Its hard to say not sure if hes a decent climber, at one point it seemed like he was good on cobble when he won the Paris Roubaix Juniors. |

yes he is a bit of an all-rounder, good up the climbs, good on the cobbles, good TT'er, and has a good sprint on him |

Can He come in top 30 ?
Is he Team Captain in the mountains or is it Cardenas ?
Is it his first season as a professionel rider ? |

not in top 30 but he would hope for top 100
he definatley isn't team captain in mountains, he's only 21 and Cardenas is better up the mountains anyway, but he will definatley help as much as possible
yes it's his 1st season proffesional, but he was on a sagitaire contract (can't spell) with Suanier Duval.
sorry if we bigged him up too much

I doubt it, really.
Cobo hasn't done any Tours, and Lokvist is far too young.
experience is vital.
even Indurain took until his fifth attempt to crack the top 50.

remember Contador is there. would be very nice to see some competition for the white jersey, though.

I think that Contador will take the white jersey due to the fact that he is a much better climber than Thomas Dekker and Alberto (Contador) is also a good TT.
