    Peter Winnen doesn't really want to be believed; he
    prefers to produce fiction.

    It's interesting that Peter Winnen, the only climber among
    the experts, is the only one who is tipping the climber
    Iban Mayo as a Tdf winner, confirming the principle that
    people are usually attaching great


    importance

    wrote quite a nice book last year.

    I did not mean his knowledge is somehow flawed; actually he
    gives the best commentary I can receive. The problem is that
    he considers his experience and that of people like De
    Cauwerto be infallible and complete; he has a tendency to
    explain every move and over-analyze all that happens. But
    with people like Virenque in the peloton, one has to keep in
    mind that not everything riders do during a race is part of
    some masterplan.

    It's a shame I will have to miss him this season, due to the
    introduction of 'sporza'. I can't imagine that the sponsors
    are happy with it either. The Tour de Suisse used to be
    broadcast to every home that had access to VRT1 and Canvas -
    most of the Netherlands, I think. But now Ullrich wins, and
    I don't think that a fraction of the Dutch can see it, while
    T-mobile has a definite commercial interest here, just to
    mention a sponsor.

    I believe in any case that Iban Mayo will win.

    Candyass.

    OK then, Mayo is my final choice. Armstrong 2nd, Rogers 3rd,
    and even if he doesn't he will take Blanc... Petacchi in
    Vert, Dekker in Pois.
