Sure lance can end in the top 3, but he won't win.
Yeah that's definitely something I'm curious to see.
Columbia-HTC has a few favored riders, don't they? Michael Rogers and Tony Martin?
This is going to be an interesting TTT though-- hopefully not too many crazy crashes!

Also, are you talking about yesterday's breakaway? I'm not sure there was enough time for most teams to think about waiting up for teammates. A lot of times were split and a lot of favorites were left in the dust...
Personally I would really loooove to see Astana work as a well-oiled machine much in the way Columbia-HTC is. There's a reason they're on top!Help me reach my $8,000 goal for the American Lung Association! Riding Seattle to D.C. for clean air! http://larissaridesforcleanair.org
