  1. So, what's Evans' chances? Is he a better time trialer that Contador?

    Contador wins...

    Cadel beat him by a little more than a minute in the 1st TT. Contador
    has a bit less than 2 minutes in hand. With the Mailloit Jaune on
    his back and Bruyneel giving him the old "Venga! Venga!" routine I
    don't see how Contador loses (unless, of course, he joins the ranks of
    Vino, Rasmussen, et. al.)

    Stage 13 results
    1 A Cheater 1.06.34
    2 Cadel Evans 1.14
    7 Alberto Contador 2.18
    9 Levi Leipheimer 2.39
    11 Another cheater 2.55

    I think they should all be disqualified except for Millar. Viva Millar!!!

    Actually "E Cheater" is Rasmussen who has yet to test positive for
    anything so perhaps I should have labeled that one as "A Liar"
    instead.

    It's longer and flatter, both of which will be more beneficial to Evans. It
    could be close.

    Evans is in the prime of his career with a lot of muscle memory to carry him
    along on a LONG TT. Contadore is a skinny climber who has the advantage of
    youth and enthusiasm.

    My guess is that Evans will be the first Australian to win the yellow
    jersey.

    Dumbass:

    The key question is, where does David Millar finish?

    The rest follows from there,

    plus Evans doesn't need to keep anything in reserve.

    That depends on whether Disco all get into their team bus tomorrow and go
    home.

    For next year's tour, the team of each successive stage winner should be
    eliminated automatically, thus saving all this tedious messing about with
    drug tests. Whichever team is left on the last day then get to race
    amongst themselves for the yellow jersey, before being disqualified.

    The first TT was hilly, as a result the Spaniad put in a blinder BUT still
    lost time to Evans. Cadel has had virtually NOT team support for the entire
    mountain stages but smanaged to only lose a few of minutes. The boy is
    STRONG! A bit like Lemond in 1989. Evans will win the Tour just like
    Lemond in '89. I say 12''.........

    Go Evans!

    Just have all the sponsors pull out, completely, no more huge budgets
    and these dipshits will all be outta work,. Then they will have some
    'fondos' that anybody can ride in, kinda like ride the rockies, and if
    the dopers want to win that, let 'em. Big money is the problem. If
    there wasn't such huge $ rewards, these guys or any pro in any sport
    wouldn't try to dope.

    Yeah, but Disco need not win a stage.

    And technically, MR still holds the yellow jersey till he fails to
    make the time cut today? Right?

    Use the right terms -- it's "time trialierist"

    "Timeliest trialer"
