All the other candidates we've already mentioned. I don't think any of us saw him taking green

it's between McEwen and Freire. depending on Freire's back pains, I'd say Freire is the better bet
*oh my god!! issoisso made a prediction!! surely that hasn't happened!!*

I belive that demtation to predict is grown to high.
And yeah Freire has in this year good chances..and why not Boonen this year he has plenty of time to prepeare for that. |

But Boonen hasn't really hit the form at all this year. I hope for McEwen. He's my favourite sprinter  |

Boonen has no chance, sorry, but it's true, he has no where near the confidence to perform, or the speed either,
sorry to break it to you, but he isn't as good as he was last year/season before |

A few people ive spoken too have tip Cavendish but i seriously dought that! Im going with McEwen but if Petacchi is there i think he might ruin the party at Predictor. |

Cavendish won't win the green jersey if that is what you are saying Smoothie, i doubt he'll even make it to Paris, i think the T-MO manager guy has said he may pull him out before the Alps anyway,
but i think Cav could get a stage win, I am also backing McEwen for the green, but i think Freire might be a contender also |

Petacchi has got a one year ban. So the green jersey will be between Freire and McEwen.
Zabel and Cavendish and i hope Boonen(though i doubt it  ) will win a stage.

I wouldn't read to far into that yet. It will be busy towards the start of the Tour, but by the end, I'll imagine very nearly all the riders and definitely all the teams will be there - it's just too big to exclude the big teams

as I said alex...they're setting themselves up for a disappointment.
now looking at the tour startlist, I'm quite disappointed and a bit suspicious of a certain team.
turns out someone is included that...well...
two friends of mine who rode for the youth programme of a certain portuguese team have told me several times that that guy was not as reported by the media "sold to a bigger team", but in fact ousted because he was doping himself but the team preferred to keep it quiet so as not to annoy the sponsor. that guy immediately got a contract with a bigger team.
he's included and I will be hoping he breaks a leg or something.

I've forgot to put an "." I wasn't saying Cavendish for green jersey only for a stage win. |
