I wonder how Klodie will do in this Tour? At the Sydney Olympics he proved he can ride a great TT (Silver Medal I believe), he can also climb and has finished on the podium. I think he has not been given enough credit as a GC contender.
He wasn't worth much at the Suisse Tour. He was getting dropped in the mountains when Kirchen, Gerdemann, and Guerini were still there working for Ullrich.
Of course a transfusion or two can do wonders for a rider's form.
As stated many days ago, I like Kloden's chances as much as anyone. My pick, once Basso and Ulrich were out, to win.
