I think Leipheimer in peak condition is a OK time trialer, and Evans is good, anyway, "he is not in form." But of course you have a point, there is still some weeks to go, and I think Sastre will improve a lot on those weeks. I sat money on him; to round off the podium 
Levi is not going to race in TdF unfortunately   |

My point was, ContaRicco, that Valverde did a great time trial when he beat Leipheimer in a race Leipheimer had peaked for and really wanted to win
And yes, I think Valverde will make all three weeks this year, this year, he is in form, and I think it is easier to recover then. But still, he only need one bad day and he is out
But I think Valverde takes it! |

Evans is a wheelsucker, and you don't win by wheelsucking
Didn't Contador pretty much win the Giro by wheelsucking?
I mean, he didn't win a single stage. |

Yeah I'm happy that Astana isn't in the TdF this year
Haha because it's really unpredictable right now
If Astana and Contador was in the tour we all know who would win it |

Thats because Contador wasn't prepared for the race. Didnt you watch TdF last year then you see what Conta is in shape.! |

Haha .. well ofc he wasn't on a beach.. But he didn't peak in the Giro.. It's impossible because Astana didn't even know that they would ride the Giro.. The got the message a week before the giro start .. |

the giro is entirely different to the tour - the mountains are in a different class
