We got a month or so to go before the Yellow Jersey is up for grabs, but lets start getting crazy!
*The Astana team looked terrific at the Vuelta. Vinokourov and Kasheskin is a formidable tag team. Wouldn't bet against them.
*I love Frank Schleck, ever since he won Amstel last year, he's been a fave. Look for him to win the combatant jersey and also to win a stage.
*The matchup to watch this year is IMO Valverde vs Vinokourov. Could be like the rivalry of Ullrich and Pantani or Ullrich and Armstrong.
