Re: Tour de France 2008: Pre-race Talk
Current edition of Cycle Sport says that the TDF is wide open - but with that they're suggesting that Eans, menchov, Schleck, Valverde are all contenders.

Could get rich fast. He was definitely riding better than Evans this time last year and he will be determined to show that form again this year. (even though he is not showing form, his mind over matter revenge hormones will be on fire). If his TT skills return to World Championship form and he climbs with good support there is no reason he shouldn't be a strong contender. (if). Just found this nice story on Rogers that I didn't know about... http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/tdu02c40.shtml

Re: Tour de France 2008: Pre-race Talk
I'd put the top three for this year as Evans, Menchov, Valverde. I'd also say Devolder and Dekker have much better odds than that.
