Millar? No way! Notta! Never! and Forget it! Millar will not win this race. To tough of a course for a fragile personality...plus his climbing is not what it needs to be to win. It's going to be one of these guys to win..I absolutely guarantee it........

Mancebo
Mercado
Mayo
Leipheimer
Sastre

I don't think Bjarne Riis will allow Tyler to win even though he's probably capable. Remember when Lance was strong enough to win but let Tyler win instead?..Well Sastre may benefit in this way.

Look for Leipheimer to impress during tomorrow's TT. This course was made for him. Mercado will hang tough and get back any time losses in the big mountain stages ahead. Sastre will do well in the TT's and mountains....so let's just give him the nickname Mr. Overall. Don't think for a moment that Sastre is not a heavy hitter. Mancebo has been riding really really well lately. Mancebo is at the peak of his form. I'm looking for Mercado to have just one single huge stage(perhaps Morzine) that will put him in with a chance...but he has to hold his own in tomorow's TT(which has some climbing). If Iban Mayo is as4real as I think he might be...then he could be the favorite over the other names. Lance is not quite ready. I'm sure he doesn't want to make alot of noise in the coming days..although he will try to test himself at certain points to guage his Tour buildup.
