The problem now is that no matter who wins, the victory will have an asterisk beside it in everyones' minds. Like they said when Armstrong won when Pantani and Ullrich weren't there (although he definitely proved the naysayers wrong later).

The upside is that this should be one of the least predictable tours of recent memory!
Damn those German pasteries.
