Le Tour 2012 - Predictions

The eagerly awaited Grand Depart is in 3 days time, and starts with a prologue Time Trial.
Despite form, I still believe that the overall is not a foregone conclusion, although Wiggo is on fire this season so far and looking at the route etc, it will be a great travesty if he does not at least make the podium

Beyond the competition predictions below, there are those who deserve mentions for just being darned good bike riders.
Voeckler & Hoogerland will still be ones to watch, but I suspect that anything other than short term glory will not be theirs? Publish and be damned so they say so here goes:

Yellow
Wiggo
Evans
Nibali
Outside bet - Froome / Valverde?

Green
(Assuming that Cav is playing for the team)
Sagan
Renshaw
Farrar?
KOM
Dan Martin
S Sanchez
Vanendert
White
Sagan
EBH
Van Garderen
Team
Got to be Team Sky hasn't it?

Looking forward to 23 days of unadulterated pleasurable TV!
