    Overall: Contador you cant beat that support team.

    1) Astana
    2) Valverde.
    3) Freire, as that hill should get rid of Boonen.
    4) Boonen
    5) Schumacher - the rolling route should suit him.

    Bertie, obviously.
    You just have to ride like you never have to breathe again.

    Overall: Contador; I really don't see any of the usual suspects beating him, and although I'm excited to see what Gesink can do, it'll be too soon for him. So, boring boring, Contador
    First: Astana
    Second: Freire

    To the tune of "E Viva Espana"

    Oh, next week we're off to sunny Spain,
    For Vuelta a Espana.
    I hope it isn't going to rain,
    On Vuelta a Espana.
    There are lots of hills, which we adore,
    No chance for a sprinter,
    After 3 weeks the winner will be sure,
    ALBERTO CONTADOR!
