I suspect he will be competitive, but only a shadow of what he was a couple of years ago. I still remember an acceleration of his 2 years ago on the final mountain stage of the Giro that he won. He made the field look like a junior varsity team.
That was when I actually had the first thought that he might be dirty, just to make it look that easy. Of course, from now on, anybody who dominates like that will automatically be suspect.
