i'll go for Savoldelli, mainly because he is obviously in form, as he's leading in Romandie
i Think is to close between romandie and Giro D'Italia so i think he's gonna be to tired so i think Cunego will win

Cunego showed great improvement in TT'ing at last year's TdF. I'm sure that will benefit him enough to beat Simoni. Savoldelli will probably also be top-motivated, though. We will know much more soon  |

I'm going with Simoni on this one.
1) Simoni
2) Cunego
3) Di Luca
4) Savoldelli
5) Rasmussen
Of course, I could be like Levi4Life and just say Hincapie is gonna obliterate the field. |

Sorry buddy, Rasmussen just came off a horrible crash last year and has said himself he isnt in grand-tour form. He will be struggling through the whole thing. As for me, im going with Cunego/Simoni/Savoldelli(sp?) in any order for top 3 |

1)Hincapie
2)Dave Zabriskie
3)Popovich
4)Schleck
5)Cancellara
(massive Crash in the mountains, all the favorites fall off a cliff, down a ravine into a deep dark forrest and cannot finish the race)
Simoni got his ass kicked on Brasstown Bald by Levi L and Tom D.

Saunier Duval seems to be the strongest team for mountains, there are nicely pure climbers like Gibo, Piepoli, Mayo, rising star Riccardo Ricco and others can also climb a bit. But strongest rider, to me, is still Damiano Cunego, he looks really promising for this years giro B) |

Man I am so freakin excited. For once, we are gonna have a really clean grand tour. No suspicions here. I'm so freaking stoked. |

For once, I totally agree with you, Phanekim. I admit that I will always be suspicious, but it does look pretty good now - especially without Jaksche and Hamilton (on the other hand, I would actually have liked to see what he was able to do after his suspension)  |

Well CSC had a strong ride and are leading, but i would love to see Disco pull out the win with Hincapie taking the pink jersey. He is such a good rider with horrible luck, it would nice to see him lead for a couple of days. |

Hincapies bad luck continues as Popovych crashes - when Disco had just 5 left, so the other 4 had to wait. Astana lead at the moment |

Nooo.... bad luck for Disco >< but we saw greedy Di Luca yelling at his teammate for crossing the line first. If i were team manager i wouldnt like Di Luca yelling at the team... he is in a great position to get the leader's jersey when the road starts to rise in an early hilly stage. |
