I'm impressed you spelled all of their names correctly.

I'm going to pick David Millar for the win, because I believe that GT
performance this year will largely come down to surviving the WADA
gauntlet, and Millar is the only rider who we know for sure is clean.

He's where I draw the line,

Two predictions:

Simoni will win.

You will ask us if Di Luca can possibly make up his ? minute time gap.

I reckon we are going to have a great battle between Cunego and Savoldelli, cant say which will win. Dont think that Di Luca has the TT and climbing skills to do better then top 5.

I also cant see Savoldelli do better then top 5 either, to many really big climbs without the decents that he is so good at.

assuming the poster meant "Simoni" instead of "Savoldelli" in the first
paragraph (or he's heavily schizophrenic), I endorse the assessment 100%. To
lower the candyass factor however, I'll commit to a Cunego victory.

Why, thank you.

I used the Inner-tubes to look 'em up.

Not sure about the first one, but I can all but guarantee the second...

So, how do you know he's clean? 'Cause he says so? Hell, lot's of
riders have told us they're clean and come up busted, and others have
told us they were clean, never tested positive, and yet there are
plenty of folks prepared to convict on mere suspicion.

The ONE thing in Millar's favor is that until he tests positive, no
one suspects him. That doesn't necessarily mean he's clean.

Having said that, I think he's clean, too. I just don't buy your
decleration that we KNOW he's clean.

Thanks. Yes I did mean Simoni. I really should not try and write posts while looking after a 6 month child at the same time

Sorry, Scott, you've come in medeas res to this joke, so I don't blame
you for not getting it.

After his comeback, he made some statements about his feelings on the
subject of doping that might have been even more noble and justified if
he hadn't just been busted for EPO.

Anyway, Millar did his comeback TdF in 2006, and came in 17th in the
prologue. This thin gruel led me to say this:

Also, with Brian Lafferty's help, we will institute the "Millar Line."
Anyone who beats David Millar in a flat TT (barring force majeur) is
clearly doping.

ca n'est pas naturellement,

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.racing/browse_frm/thread/9224
2be3e43b0fbd/1725bd7186e5a16b?lnk=gst&q=%22millar+line%22&rnum=61#1725bd7
186e5a16b

Since after all, anyone who could beat a now-clean Millar in the event
he specialized in (prologues) must be cheating...

To my immense enjoyment, the "Millar Line" has become an rbr trope for
various things to do with racing and doping, including unusually good
results, general mockery of the recovering-doper aesthetic (10/10 for
not cheating, minus several million for self-righteous 'tude about
something you were doing not that long ago...), the seemingly random
nature of actual WADA tests and gym-teacher accusations, and so forth.

But yes, we have no idea if David is clean, but he seems so sincere
about his current reformed status that it really deserves a good poke
every so often.

Also, since I like to drink, I have a special affinity for a rider whose
slogan is "It's Millar Time!"

LIVEDRUNK,

Really. Concentrate on posting. How much trouble can the child get
into anyway?

I'm torn between him and Cunego. Simoni is NOT going to win. DeLuca
has a good chance.
