Never before has there been so much going on in the first week of a TDF.
A Brit in Green, (Cav) a Brit in the top 10 on GC (Wiggo), a leadership contest dreamt up by the media (Astana) and i hope you are all sitting down... Cadel Evans attacks, not once but twice!
GC looks pretty much a who's who of Astana, and with the Aspin and Tourmalet today albeit ollowed by yet another massive downhill, could see a few more moves by some of the big boys, early on, but i reckon it will be another breakaway win, and i don't think AG2R will keep the jersey - but who knows what Bruyneel is thinking? Relatively easy to defend the jersey as we travel across to the alps, but more Kudos if it is seized once we get there?
20 years ago was the epic LeMond / Fignon tour with 8 seconds between them - this year is equally exciting at the moment - Vive le Tour!!!
