"As we see him going now, and looking at his rivals, I see
him with the capacity to win a sixth Tour," Indurain said.
"I see him with the same motivation as other years and his
results so far this year indicate he took care of himself
over the winter."
"My time has come," Heras told the Spanish daily AS. "I'm
giving everything for the Tour."
Heras said he's been riding an average of 1000km per week
and spending five to six hours a week in the gym to
strengthen his upper body.
"I work hard, like always, but this year with the mind
set on winning the Tour. I didn't leave the Tour to
follow on the same path. I am very ambitious, I feel
strong and with the team I have, I can aspire to fight on
equal footing against Armstrong and Ullrich for the final
victory," he said."

I think Indurain is essentially correct in his assumptions
about. But it is still to early to tell. As for Heras he can
contend, but I seriously doubt he can win.
