    He'll be lucky to do anything, and there's very little chance that LA will let him get in a break after the things he said about his return.

    He doesn't have much of a team.

    Also, he doesn't seem the same rider since his crash and serious injuries.

    Can he TT?

    He has had good results since his return after last year's crash, and he is a very good time trialer.

    He's been good since the crash, so I hope so. I suspect we might see Milram losing a shedload in the TTT (and Silence?) and then Linus going for a stage.

    I'm not sure Lance or Astana will have the luxury to bully everyone who's dissed him this time around. Not like the good old Postal days, eh?

    i suspect that milram will be focusing on getting ciolek a stage - I don't even think that Linus will get a stage - which is a shame because his win in Le Grand Bornand in 2007(?) was a gutsy ride - which I'd like to see happen again.
