SubscribeThe Tour de France starts on Saturday morning with an opening day prologue, but the focus will be on who wears the yellow jersey in Paris. For a basic breakdown on the favorites of the race, the AP compiled a list of the top 2010 Tour de France contenders.
Here is a link to the article.
I look forward to Contador climbing with a questionable team, while Andy and Frank Shleck ride with the support of an extremely strong Saxo Bank team. Most people expect a shootout between Contador and the Shleck brothers, but there are still several other riders that could contend for the title.
Lance Armstrong will be one of three possible captains of Team RadioShack, and should be in the top 10 in Paris. Will Cadel Evans find his way to the top step of the podium with the BMC cycling team?
My podium: Contador in first, Andy Schleck in second, and Ivan Basso in third. Armstrong will be in the top five, but I don’t think he’ll add another TdF victory to his impressive resume. (I’d rather see the Schleck brothers both on the podium, but am doubtful either one can outclimb Contador.)
