    it would be hard to tell Lance, "Don't go with Alberto when he attacks." I just don't see that happening.

    I agree. No way. Also no way that LA pulls AC up the hill. I could see JB making the call here somewhere along the lines of "ride the AST train strong until 1 KM to go" while trying to drop as many contestants as possible and then AC can attack on last KM. The beauty of this would be AC could make up some time while LA would ride into yellow. Something, I am sure, JB certainly wants.

    It is extremely unlikely to gain a second on the yellow jersey on a flat stage. Things like the other day usually don't happen with such breaks with favorites...I wouldn't count on that scenario.

    I meant on Stage 7. But you never know.

    Part of me thinks Lance actually has a chance to be on the podium at the end of this one. It looks like he's rounding into shape at the right time.

    That being said, I don't think there's any way Contador doens't take this one.

    I'll go with:

    1. A. Contador

    2. A. Schleck

    3. L. Armstrong

    Anyone want to go to Vegas with me?

    Very nicely done, though Lance was the big variable as the other two were pretty well consensus.

    What will happen in 2010? How much does Lance improve with a full season of training versus decline with more gray hair; how much better do A. Schleck and Nibaldi get; does Contador get caught cheating at any point?

    I think Lance will improve, but I can't see him getting back to where Alberto is right now. The dude is a machine. It will be interesting to see who ends up on Radio Shack and where Alberto lands this fall. If he doesn't have a great team around him, it might equalize things a bit.
