But well, on the other hand, Degenkolb could have a serious go at the points classification this year.
Isnt there a combined classification, which should be rather won by a climber like Mollema last year? Especially on this course.
Edit: Now i see there is points classification and all-around classification, but i believe both will be won by climber (point jersey by someone like Rodriguez...). Mollema won the points jersey last year even with less summit finishes.
If Purito reaches the level he was on in the Giro, and keeps it all the way through the race, then I can't see anyone else than him winning. Unless Contador decides to return in style by winning every mountain stage. 
There are seven completely flat stages, plus two flat with uphill finishes (Barcelona and La Lastrilla). That's not enough for the sprinters imo, since there are ten hard finishes where guys like Rodriguez will take points. Plus, he could very well grab a few points in the two short uphill finishes too.

Yeah, forgot about Purito...so that one goes uncontested.
Still, anything Top 3 is "having a serious go" for me, remember we Germans aren't that used to success

Funny that this year, only four RadioShack riders won, with Cancellara being the only of the main team leaders/riders to win.
And this was their second World Tour win.

They've got a total of nine stage / one day race wins plus three overall wins. Four from Fuglsang, three from Nizzolo and Cancellara, and one from Didier. With the team they have, it's ridiculously bad.
And to make it even worse, three of the victories are national championships.

The organisers of this race need to get there act together and learn how to totally close off the un-used exit's on a roundabout |

For me it is fun until Sagan looses the stage because of it, like he did in the Vuelta
Anyway much needed win for RSNT, it was about time...

Tuft wins the TT. Watch Chavenel tomorrow, he's my pick for the win.
