I can't really blame the man. If I could spend a good portion of my time chasing tail and hanging out in clubs, and still win the TdF once, and get on the podium multiple times, I'd be happy as could be!

Dont forget the beer chasers with the ecstacy followed by wrapping your car around a tree
Jan would probably be a 5 or 6 time champion if Lance was not around. It just is a shame what happened. The Spanish Police really should have announced it earlier than the eve of the tour.
It will be an intersting tour this year. There are about 10 guys who have a shot now. It will be interesting to see how things work out after the next time trial and early mountain stages. You wonder if there is a climber who can make up enough time in the mountains to make up for the time trials. If Rassmussen has improved his time trialing a little, he could have a shot. Or someone like Mayo or Zubeldia if they are in form. It could like when Pantani won.
My pick at this point would be Valverde, but I am not sure how he will handle the mountains. I guess I have just not seen enough of him to know if he can stick with the pure climbers.
