I don't know if this has already been posted but:
Fränk Schleck says he won't be at top form for the Tour:

Klöden for GC then? |

I have little faith in Klöden |

Klöden if you ask me. Bruyneel posted #Dressrehearsal on twitter during the Swiss TT, and Horner wasn't there. Besides he likes to come out of nowhere, and was doing great before he fell last year.

Are there bonus seconds this year? And if so, in what stages? Sorry if this question's been asked before, but I can't find it with google. |

Thanks for the quick answer. I thought so but just wasn't sure. |

I would think Kloden and Horner would get co-leadership until one of them loses a lot of time. That is what they did at Radioshack last year with Horner, Klodi, Levi, and Jani.
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring.

That's what I would do. Though after a week or so it should be clear who's leader and who'll help. |

Watching it on Eurosport. It's just the strangest thing ever isn't it? Yet I watch it every year.
But last years in the coluseum was much better.

If he said that, it's one of the biggest fails I heard so far 
No, seriously, I see Kittel climbing much better than Taaramae! |

Froome looking good
Lol at Wiggo
French guy comes to him and they talk for about 5 secs and then Wiggo says : ''What's the point talking to you. You don't even speak English''
It my sounds dick-ish, but it was in friendly manner
