I don't have much faith in him. I think if he ends up on the podium, it will be an amazing result for him.

No way he wins. Just can't see it. Maybe he will tear it up in the TTs and the Pyrenees, but I just can't see it. He always disappoints.

He hasn't shown any special brilliance, but then again, he hasn't shown his usual stinker day either.

You guys are harsh. He is in the top 10, hung with the main leader group today, and was never in any real difficulty. His plan was to hang tight in the alps and then try to win in the Pyrenees. SO far he is doing what he planned. Remember today he never pulled because he always had at least two guys up the road. I don't think he will win the race, but we won't know for sure until the Pyrenees.

We're so accustomed to this being an American's race, it's terrible to think that somebody else might start winning it.

Remember when Dennis Connor let New Zealan steal our cup in sailing? That was a sad sailing day. We may never win again, dang it all.

Right now, it's still anybody's game. Rassmussen is making an argument.

Vino's gone, probably.

Mayo maybe.

Contador? Levi? Maybe.

It's still wide open.

Honestly, no I don't THis race will end up with a Spanish flavor, I think. Valverde looks very good, Sastre has just been sitting on. OTOH, Levi could podium, he will have to TT well and show in the pyrenees. I do not think he can win, however.

Cantador is looking like a possible winner in the future.

He has the white jersey and seems fearless, with an attacking climbing ability. He sure stands a lot.
