    Gilbert please.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Can I just say, I watch this race from between 80 and 30km out every year, and every year I regret it.

    If there is one race you only want to watch the last kilo for, this is it.

    Can you imagine taking half a day's leave for it?

    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    I actually laughed out loud reading this.

    This is the hardest one of the season for me, as I really want to pick Thomas Voeckler and Joaquin Rodrigiez.

    But I'm going to go for Samuel Sanchez.




    Actually, after typing that out, my final pick is J_Rod please, the Katusha lad
