I'm not bored of astana winning it all its the tour de frances fault for not inviting them as kloden levi and contador would all be on form for that race where as they are splitting it up now so they are all on good form at different times therefore that is why you are bored of them winning. They are clearly the best stage race team without a doubt and nobody can dispute that.
Im disappointed moreau can't defend his title hes gutted bless him. Maybe he will win the tour instead haha. I hope zubeldia and kohl do well as zubeldia is one of the best stage racers in the world but he always seems to finish 4-10 on every stage, consistant though
You can tell i like astana cant you |

How can Zubeldia be one of the best stage racers in the world? He has never won a big stage race and never been on the podium of a Grand Tour.
Well have to wait and see how good Leipheimer will do. He was poor in the Giro - can he really turn that around so quickly?

Kim Kirchen to win the Tour de Suisse?
Just wondering as he's one of the few top riders who's supposed to ride the Tour not in this race.
Or maybe a Schleck or Menchov too. |

Dekker and Kloden are also supposed to be there (Dekker is 100% confirmed)
this race should be won by a time triallist who can climb half-decently. it's nothing like the usual tour de suisse climb-fest.
which explains why most chose the Dauphiné instead
Menchov won't race anymore until the Tour, by the way.

They chose not to invite any this year. I think due to not enough hotel space in start/finish towns.

i would have bet my life they would have made room for agritubel, probably all of the team live in that area of france, and dont they have a bus, or is that just grand tours?

Horner is getting ready for Mt. Hood. Instead of doing Le Tour he(and maybe Levi) will do the classic Stage race in Oregon.

Hoping for Rogers, actually, but I know that he has not a chance! Maybe Evans can show his good form and win? Or is this too early to get the form topped? We all remember Moreau last year - "dominated" the dauphine libere, and the first part of TdF
