Bruyneel always claims that Contador is number one in the team, but then no-one waits for him in the final break away... That is not good for the moral within the team. A very very stupid move if you ask me.

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!
