Yeah, they have a budget...what they don't have are free climbers to sign. Unless they sign Rasmussen, which will never happen |

I think Team Time Trials are spectacular to watch
I think Garmin will win that definetly (No problem with their team I think , Tuft etc....)
Maybe Vandevelde IF he can do also that well like this Tour , next Tour podium? |

Silence is definately a team to watch in the TT, but I also think Garmin is the favourite |

Nein, Liquigas will take it if it's an TTT , but the stage results if it just 30km + some more, the difference won't be to big.
If it's an ITT up to Mont Ventoux it would certainly be much more time losing than an a TTT. |

It's not a TT up the Ventoux. At least not according to the source |

Here's an English news piece about the route - in fact, it seems like that this is the source for the Spanish link I posted earlier. Thanks to Stairs for bringing this to my attention:

It's the same as the one everyone else use. I don't get why sites say that they stream from the live presentation when they in fact just link to the official stream. |

So, that seemed interesting -- although it's a shame that some of the major climbs are placed half-way through a stage and therefore won't have an impact on the overall classficiation.
I'm looking forward to that final Ventoux stage - the third week in general is crazy.
Also interesting that there's no time scaling on team time trials. And still no time bonusses. |

So now that we know Valverde wont win this tour... Maybe its because im old and such, but i'd rather have a ITT on the last saturday than Mont Ventoux...

If I tried hard to come up with a Tour more perfect for Contador, i'd only switch the third week with the second. If he doesn't win, be sure to laugh at him
I feel like I'm looking at the Giro's route. Know what I mean? Of course the climbs aren't as steep as the Giro's, but....it's definitely a classic Giro route. weird.
TTT with no time limiting -> Say goodbye to your Tour hopes, Menchov, Sastre, Valverde and Sánchez
