Who does that favour then. I think it has a sneaky hint of Cadelism
The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    The only GC candidate who has ever done Paris-Roubaix (and done well too) is Wiggins.
    Otherwise the course favours Contador because he';s the best climber and the second best TTer.

    Any course favours Contador, he's simply THAT good. The only thing anyone else can hope for is he falls off and loses a chunk to Arenberg, but then even that's no guarantee. Even on a course that wasn't really one he would design for himself last year he put minutes into everyone.

    I'd imagine enough favourites have an interest in keeping the cobbles as calm as possible that it won't amount to that much.
