Dunno how much interest there will be in this race, but it's on the PTP calendar, so here we go...

Last warm-up chance for the stage-racers before the Giro, the TdR is 6 days long and includes a prologue, a team time-trial and some fairly lumpy in-between stages.

    Moomaloid, stage 3 is a TTT!

    I'm going for:

    GC - Kreuziger
    Prologue - Cancellara

    You know a race has a pretty duff lineup when you look at a start list, get down to Francaise des Jeux and go "hmm, he has a chance". Very sad.

    Stage 1: Remy Di Gregorio

    Stage 2: Mark Cavendish

    I would have gone for Christian Van Der Velde, but it's not clear whether it's him or Ricardo who's starting, so:
    Overall: Voigt
    Prologue: Cancellera
    Stage 1: Kreuziger
    Stage 2: Cavendish
    Stage 3: Saxo bank
    Stage 4: Voigt
    Stage 5: Friere
    (& cross my fingers that some of them actually start!)
