LBL Picks-Can Valverde Do the Weekend

I can't help but think that keeping him "caged" for so much of the year
is only to make Vino that more unstoppable.

I know that he is saying that the TDF is his only focus this year, but
c'mon, put him any where near the front over the last 60 km and try to
tell him to soft pedal it in....

and/or win both races? I think yes to both.

1. Valverde
2. DiLuca
3. Bettini
4. Kroon
5.Sinkewitz

Not Valverde, he won't stand the distance, besides LBL doesn't end
with uphill finnish as steep as either Amstel or Fleche.

my pick would be:

1. F.Schleck (again)
2. ? - hey, just for the fun of it: Boogerd.
3. N.Sørensen or I.Basso.

CSC will kill everyone and take at least 1. and 3. Their team for
today is pretty scarry, they have only got two riders with no chance
of victory today: C.Vande Velde & P.Luttenberger.
