You bar$teward. Got them in first. Do I want to follow your picks & not get some time back? (or lose any).

One of the advantages of 'winning' yesterday's stage. Winner's pick last, right Jen ~ Gloat! Me & Jen, as if. Better than getting a 24th best placed finisher yesterday, hey CHR15.

PS Cat didn't do much better with a 16th. We all ended up with the same time though. Damn, this is hard trying to get some time back. What do you think Cadel Lim...!

Menchov. He's on form, but will fade. Rabo's last hope.

Sastre. Because he's that good.

Conta. Because his ego cant stand another week of Lancetalk.

I want it to be complicated.

1. Contador - he is the best going around and with only a couple of summit finishes this tour he will not want to miss

2. Andy Schleck - he will want a good result to improve his GC rank

3. Evans - emotional choice for me but he will need to do something early to get higher on GC and position himself for a crack later on. If he doesn't finish top 5 this stage he may as well concede...

3. Hmmm, now I'm stuck. Well, the climb is classified as HC, so let's go with Sastre. He likes big "hills."

1. Contador
2. Sastre

I would like to deviate a bit but those guys seem to have the best chance.

Nobodies taking Lance, so I will.

I'll go with Pellizotti as well, Liked his climbing during the Giro.

And Younger Shleck sounds good as well.

To Summarize:

Lance
Pellizotti
Andy Shleck

Also going to be watching to see how VandeVelde does... but don't think he's got it back yet.

Just for fun:

1. Kloden
2. Sastre
3. Contador

Kloden throws a kink in both Armstrong and Contadors plans and takes the yellow jersey.

It could happen

Guess I need to make some decisions.....

1 - Luis Leon Sanchez (Someone from Spain has to have a go today)

2 - Carlos Sastre (Yes he is Spanish but goes uphill really well too)

3 - Alberto Contador (Spanish... kind of think he wont be showing his hand today unless he has to but...)

Kind of wish I could pick Gerdemann too! I also expect Martin, Kreuzinger and Nibali will have a go today!!!

So far only Strates hasn't picked Contador. Seems we all agree on the inevitable (apart from Strates off course )

Here's what Robbie has to say about it:

mcewenrobbieToday Andorra Arcalis - Contador to win stage but only just. Astana to totally dominate stage. Good luck to my mates in the grupetto!!

I'd rather come a scrappy 24th showing my nose to the wind than a robotic top 5

The tea leaves this morning show that Contador is gonna picked up by a big bird of prey (probably a bald eagle) and dropped like a stone into the sea off the coast of Taiwan... Sorry to break it to you those who picked him...

Have you been messing with the Belgian Blondes again Chris?
