Well i dont know but lovkivst i doubt it due to riding the giro and burning him out. Roger defo cav, burghurdt, hincapie, kirchen, definetes imo. Thereofre leaves 4 places so i think either griepel or renshaw will go but renshaw when giro so i think griepel and then mr barry might and maybe other powerful riders like hansen could get in as i cant see them sending more than 3 climbers (kirchen rogers +1) |

Im pretty sure no burghart hincapie and griepel or was that just me ????  quite clearly they would pull it along faster! They are the 3 main men in the train last year!!! Tbh im pretty sure griepel will pull him away from the rest faste rthan renshaw and for longer. Look how poweerful the man is!!
1. He had Hincapie, Hagen, Eisel and Grabsch, so he had just as much help as he wanted.
2. Greipel won't be riding the tour, Renshaw will.
What's with all the question and exclamation marks? |

It doesn't add depth, it makes you look more ignorant. |

Yea Contador really seemed to destroy morality on the team with that statement. I mean it is no offense to say he is one of the best stage racers around, hands down. But you will have to have a team to back you up. Evans did the same in the last few years and never seemed to have the help he needed, when he needed it. Will be interesting. |

To all the doubters out there. Sure it's not a perfect fit, but it's quite close.

Oh yeah, gotta tell you all about this.
I'm going to the tour this year, or, the last week.
Me and 4 friends have rented a bigass autocamper in Frankfurt.
We leave early on the 20th from Denmark, pick up the autocamper and head for the alps.
I absolutely cannot wait. Wine, froglegs, cheese, friends and cycling for a week! We're gonna be uploading photos and updates to a group on Facebook from down there. If anyone's interested PM me for acces to it. |

The camper sleeps 6, and we leave 5 people from DK. A mate from Paris is joining us Friday and Saturday, but i'm sure it could be done. Problem is the transport from DK to Frankfurt. But if you get yourself to the alps, we'll drag you along no problem!  |

I heard that the Tour will have 2 stages without radio communication
And the stages are the 10th stage Limoges-Issoudun (their national day) and the 13th stage Vittel-Colmar, a stage with some mountains in the middle

Just a question, will there be a bet whatever Moncutie will be in the break on the Bastille Day or not?

Astana roster nearly finalized:
6 confirmed:
Lance Armstrong
Alberto Contador
Levi Leipheimer
Andreas Klöden
Haimar Zubeldia
Yaroslav Popovych
And 3 of the following 7: Jani Brajkovic, Chris Horner, BenjamÃn Noval, Dmitriy Muravyev, Sergio Paulinho, Gregory Rast and Tomas Vaitkus
I think Muravyev(kasach), Horner and Paulinho.
Needless to say this will be with out a doubt THE strongest tour team ever |

It's between Brajkovic, Horner, Noval and Paulinho, with a slight chance for Muravyev, I think.

Wasn't Bruyneel forced to bring 3 Kazakhs to the Tour? |
