1. Spanish Steak
2. Schleck the Younger (he underperformed last year at AToC and Suisse, too)
3. Van den Broeck (he really impressed with his ability to change gears on the climbs at the Dauphiné)
4. Mod-Father
5. I’m still mulling over Good Cuddles and O Hesjedal; Cuddles could finish much higher or he could crash out (and still doesn’t have a team). Ryder was terrific last year and could repeat that form, but I don’t know if he has the team support…

Awesome article! This will be my first year really following the TdF. Hope you toss up more posts like this so I can pretend I understand more than “Oo look how fast they go up those Mountains!”

And they do a GREAT job with their twitter updates as well! I’ve been following them for AToC, Dauphine, and TdSuisse while at work (shhhh).

I need to find a cowbell first, it’s a lot harder than I first thought! But Horner…. NO TOP 10! I’m throwing the gauntlet down on this one blondie. Pick your wager and we’re on…..

Big call Bob, I like it. I’d be very happy if Wiggo could take 2nd, he’ll get given the 1st place via the courts soon enough!

Julie,
You can ‘watch’ via twitter by following @procyclinglive. Reading their stream now will help you learn about the riders, their teams, as well as terms and how the races typically unfold. Last year Versus had a deal to watch streaming coverage on their website as well. Bob is right. Liggett and Sherwin are top notch announcers! They bring a great perspective to the race.
