So Monaco - remember that? - 22 days ago, with Cancellera taking the golden fleece on temporary loan before the real GC contenders did their thing.
So far as predictions go - this is what i predicted before the start:
"I will go for Contador to take the stage on Saturday, and also for the Yellow Jersey overall, as for the other two podium places to be Andy Schleck and "a n other" from Astana. Astana will take the team prize and again Schleck for the White Jersey. Green Jersey has to be Cav."
Barring catastrophe, or someone dying en route, looks like my top 3 selection is spot on as well as the white jersey, and team prize. Green jersey looks like Cav will finish 2nd, but i bet he wins on the Champs.
Best performance on the tour, is a 3 way split Cav for his 5 (soon to be 6?) stage wins. Wiggo for his transformation from TT / breakaway specialist to genuine GC contender and Lance for proving that you are never too old?
Looking forward to Team Radioshack and 2010 - watch out for a lot of musical teams going on as those that have performed well this year are courted to ride on other teams, plus Team Sky (the british team are due to take to the stage - intersting times ahead...
