Tend to agree re Armstrong. I hope not, but I suspect he'll lose the odd minute or two here and there in the mountains which will see him miss out on yellow. I saw Evans ride very aggressively on one mountain stage in the Dauphine Libere - it was only because Valverde & Contador rode together that he didn't gain a big lead- maybe he has finally realised what he needs to do. Menchov was great in Italy, but has lost a lot of time already. Long Shot - Kloden?

Definately my favourite sport event of the year. Initially couldn't see past Contador for the yellow, but am now starting to think Armstrong may have a chance. Of the non-Astana riders, Evans looked in great form during the Dauphine Libere, but lacks support. Maybe Sastre if he can get away in the mountains.

Is that because Notts had beaten Hants earlier inthe season? Because our net run rate was better than both teams
