I guess Kirchen will win Suisse, but he can't doing aything more than a top 10 in Tour de France.

Who knows?
Kirchen suprised last year, and he seems to be able to race well in the shorter mountain climbs. I don't think he can win, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if he hung around the lead groups on most of the climbs, took some small chunks of time back on some of the hilly and short climb stages and hung on through the time trials enough to score a top 5 or so. |

I don't think Kløden can catch up 58 seconds on Kirchen. But, Kløden can do a very good ITT and the other ones very bad, then he will be on the top of the rankings.
I think Anton, Kreuziger or Kirchen will win this race. I hope for Anton.

About Dekker by the way, he is feeling awful. He started after a week of sickness, now he is not sick but just plain tired, and dissapointed he is not getting in to shape. This is going nowhere. If his form doesn't increase soon, he'll probably even skip the Tour. |

104th in the GC alongside Hagen and Ciolek suggests that he won't be much help to Menchov in the mountains if his form doesn't shape up real fast...he might not even be much help to the grupetto |

Don't judge Lovkvist too soon. let's see what he does at the Tour.
And that Dekker thing is not nice to hear, but it happens to at least one prospect every year. Last year it was Fothen and he was anonymous. By the way, I'm backing Fothen for top 15 at the Tour.

Even worse now, Dekker now got ill again and has said to reporters he is doubtful about riding the Tour. Big chance he won't start |

nooo, that's really bad. Can he ride the Vuelta? He has a chance to win there... Or at least top ten. |

IF he doesn't in the Tour, he will go for the win (yes win) in the Vuelta. |

Well, he has taken a step, cause he has never been up there in the climbs whats so ever before. But of course this doesn't mean that he will be up there in the Tour.

Hope so, his form was good in Dauphine Libéré where he took the fourth spot in the general classification. Just hope his form can be as good as it was till the end of the Tour. |

There's gotta be something wrong with Dekker phisically, since it's not the first time this happens.
The same happened in 2006, remember? He tried and tried and just could not get into form for the Tour. Even Cecchini said he wasn't "the usual Thomas"
