I too will be watching Erik Zabel I'd like to see hime get the green again. But I agree with everyone else Lance is the most likely winner overall. Unless a disaster befalls him ..............
I'm a luck, I will be watching in person some of the second week. I will be riding the Etape de Tour on the 16th with 8000+ other folks, mostly men, only 200 women are registered! After that I will go and see one mountain stage and the start of the individual time trial. Apparently the start of the ITT is the best place to get a close up of all those muscles as they are all on view as they warm up.
Wish me luck in the 200km stage 16 etape ......... trainings almost finished, all I need is fine weather and a positive mental attitude.
