It is close to that time again guys, for the biggest annual sporting event in the world. I thought that I would go ahead and start a thread for pre-race chatter. All thoughts are welcome.
I believe that we are in for an exciting tour this year. Contador is still the heavy favorite, but I think the pack closes in on him this year, because one has to believe his legs are a little tired after having dominated the Giro a few weeks ago. Also, with a fewer ITT, that should help A. Schleck out, as he looks like he has not improved any in the race of truth.
This gets the ball (or wheel) rolling with the 2 main contenders, we can discuss whatever you want, with the week and a half leading up to the start of the Tour.
