As I said in another thread, I think whoever wins can mostly be discounted since it's most likely that person peaked too early and will suffer in the Pyrenees at the Tour.
that isn't always the case though.
As for who will win, the great thing about the Dauphiné is that you can never predict that. such a wide array of people can, due to form issues, win it.
I am looking forward to watching what Cornu can do. he will obviously not win it, not even close, but he's stated the Dauphiné as his goal for this road season, and I want to see how well he can go now that he's had a few months to adjust to the higher pace of the ProTour.
looking forward to what should be an interesting week.

He is practising how to get over the mountains. He want to finish TdF all 21 stages this year and win the green-sprinter shirt. |

So it's going to be a big fight in the sprints, also. Good!(In the TdF)
They are committed till the end.
Thanks

actually, jokes aside, I think he's going to show how much better he is than most give him credit for.
it's unfortunate that (according to Bruyneel) the team gambled it's Ardennes classics season (Amstel, Fleche, Liege) on Paulinho and he turned out to get hay fever and couldn't do anything.
for the Tour, if Levi falters again, he'll have his chance for stage wins.
the thing about him is...he's talented, but not hugely so.
however, as Vinokourov put it: "he never gives up, and that's something the team needs"
Another one I'm hoping to get to see well is Lokvist. can this be his breakout year?
