Ekimov looked very good (obviously) at the Tour of the Netherlands and it's tempting to pick him but I'll have to go with:
Vinokourov, even though I don't have any information on his recent form. He's got the entire package - the aerobic ability along with recovery and explosiveness.
Best placed domestic D3?
How about Dario Falquier (WEBCOR)? One of those underfunded D3's has to come up with a surprise result sometime.
Isn't anyone interested in picking the highest-placed T3 pro, best T3 team, first T3 to lose more than half of their riders? What's the over/under on number of T3 guys getting to the finish?
And why isn't Rene Jeannson making the two-hour flight from her training site in AZ to compete against a few of the best women racers in the world on a course with some hard little climbs?

The course is perfect for her. Other things may not be. There are whispers about why she doesn't race in Europe either, but it's all speculation.

LANCE is in the race, but hasn't been racing.

Dumbass,
Saturn is a domestic D3. So are 7-Up, PA, etc. Are you making the distinction between D3 and "small" D3?
Tempting to pick a Euro, but McCormack for the overall. Best "small" D3: Ben Jacques-Maynes (Sierra Nevada-Clif Bar). How can one not like this team? It's named after beer (that tastes good, unlike Coors). And food, if you consider Clif bars food.
