What was wrong with TJ's time trialing in the Tour de Suisse? He would be deadly if he could time trial like he has shown in the past.
Andy Schleck?
He doesn't race, he is retired. Sorry man.

How will Migeul Indurain fare this year? What team is he riding for?
Andy Schleck is still coming back from his back injury which caused him to miss the 2012 Tour. He is improving with each race he has done this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the top 15 of the GC.
What happened to Pierre Rolland? Has he completely gone AWOL since last year's Tour? Looked so promising and it would be nice to see a Frenchman mixing it up a bit on GC.

Hesjedal FTW
He recently crashed hard and probably won't start.

Froome looked good enough last year to win except Wiggins was the team leader. Froome looks great this year and with Wiggins out... Froome.
yep. and if froome falters, Porte is right there with him.
Cadel Evans FTW.

there's nothing wrong with his time trialing. His TT at TofC was just fine - it's his climbing that's questionable.
That said, Tejay will fare better than Evans for BMC. Evans expended more than he intended to in the Giro with his unlikely competitive ride. He really did not figure he'd podium with Nibali and Wiggins and was initially using it to gain form. Now, though, he simply ended up working too hard.
Contador will be better than Dauphine indicated, but perhaps not enough to round Froome (particularly with overall strength of Sky - and Richie Porte in particular - at Froome's disposal)
Look for J Rod and Rui Costa to make it interesting as well

Woops, meant to say top 10 of the GC.

you don't seem to understand what a hypocrite is. i'd suggest you refrain from using the term until you do.
BMC can say whatever they want. Evans was their "leader" last year but who was it really when tejay was 5th? Evans isn't any younger, and as was noted, Evans did Giro and the list of giro-tour success stories is short in recent years. BMC is just trying to avoid a PR headache like sky has on their hands
