Without hesitation, I'm taking the popular pick - Ivan Basso.
I also predict a stage victory for Hincapie.
Repeat prologue victory for Zabriskie.
ITT victory for Ullrich.
I also predict being able to see no fewer than 30 bony prominences on Michael Rasmussens skeleton, leading him to a repeat polka dot jersey win.
Tom Boonen will come away with no fewer than 3 stage wins.
Vinokourov will make things very interesting with unrelenting attacks in the mountains, but never a stage victory.
But mostly just tour dominance by Basso and an overall poor performance by the Disco boys.
If I think of any more, I'll write an addendum. If, after 2 weeks, I'm starting to look foolish, I'll just go back and edit this post. Thats the beauty of the delete button.
