Tour de France 2010

Tor has been out with an injury for a while, so I would'nt expect him to hang-on through the mountains like he has in previous years. Still, he has returned to form so cant be written off.

There is no doubt in my mind that Cav is the better sprinter, but he just seems to be all over the place this year.

Farrar is the most consistent sprinter of the bunch, but Garmin have mixed priorities.

I'd like to bet on Boasson Hagen, but again, is he high enough on Team Sky's list of priorties? He certainly has the techncal ability to survive a treacherous TdF.

Farrar has a hairline fracture of his wrist but will start today. (He's taken a hefty dose of HTFU). Christian Vande Velde has broken ribs and won't start so Garmin's priorities have changed again. They'll be about stage wins now I think.

I think Hushovd is a nailed on certainty for the green jersey this year.
