Any TDF betting tips?
Discussion
As for overall, its a toss up:
Saxo Bank have far and away the strongest team and the two schlecks for the GC - not the best GC contenders - but neither was Sastre, a good team can do wonders.
Astana look good - Contador should kill everyone but Cadel and maybe Menchov in the TTs (of the GC guys) and will beat everyone up the mountains
Cadel will suck wheels (as per usual), which won't cut it this year (as per usual) Plus he has crap all support from his team
Menchov - no team and he wont win 2 grand tours in a year
Wouldn't bet on any of them tbh, could go anywhere - gun to my head i would say Contador - the schlecks just can't TT well enough
White - Andy Schleck without a doubt
Green - Think Cav has it in him this year - there is no one in this years TDF peloton that can come close, and he seems to matured enough as a rider to last a 3 week tour - if he lasts, he has the green in the bag
Polkadot - hard to tell until the climbers start showing their cards - also depends what type of tour it ends up being with regards to the GC.
Best team - Saxo Bank
