Starts on Monday afternoon with lots of mountainy goodness, and if past years are anything to go by, lots of rain too. Six stages long, and concluding with a 22 km TT, virtually every stage has a fair bit of climbing to be done.

    Well without Contador there, I'm going for Sammy Sanchez for the GC and first stage please.

    Second stage F Schleck
    3rd Sandy Casar

    Surely Euskaltel have to win this one at some time or another.

    Valverde for the overall, please (a final fling before his 'holiday').

    And, due to not having time to think about it, put me down for:

    Valverde

    for EVERY stage as well, please (must get at least a couple of points from that).

    Thanks.
