Hope/Predictions for the Tour

[Aggie_Ama]

Tyler Farrar win some stages and Thor win the green. But mostly the sprints I would like to see not just be one rider like last year.

George Hincapie win a stage (or more), he is my favorite rider and him victorious in his twilight would be awesome.

Contador crack, I just think he need some good old fashioned butt kicking to make him appear less smug.

I am not sure who I want to win but I don't want it to be a blow out. And of course no drug scandals.

I have a hunch that Andy Schleck will win.

Other than that, I'm thinking Cadel Evans and Levi Leipheimer to round out the podium. No biases at all. Nope, none. Nothing to do with the fact that BMC is based out of Santa Rosa and Levi lives there. Not at all.

I would also really like to see Garmin do well with some stage wins.

I reserve the right to change my predictions after the first week though... or really the first few days after they've raced on the cobbles. I have a feeling that Contador isn't going to do well and may crash out since the pack will be a nervous mess and supposedly he's never raced on cobbles (these true cobbles) before.

What Frank Schleck said on that otherwise stupid Versus promo "...two Schleck brothers on the podium..."

I would like to see someone go out on a long solo breakaway and then weep with joy when he wins.

I love that.
