do you want my reasoning, or just the names?

My more or less WAG-

1- Hamilton
2- Ullrich
3- Armstrong

Dream: Armstrong, Hamilton, Heras

Don't need the reasoning, but feel free to include it. Nothing too controversial, though - you know how this forum is. Say the wrong thing and this thread becomes about politics in a split second.

Let's not turn it into a who's doping/who's not thread, either ;)

Of course, you'll participate in your own study, right?

If only one list is included, I'll assume it's your prediction and not a dream podium. Let me know if they are one and the same.

to refresh your memory:

safe bet:

1. Lance
2. Jan
3. Tyler

dream:

1. Lance
2. Tyler
3. Brad McGee

rationale: well, i'm not gonna go into too much detail - i think my picks are more or less self explanatory. what i will say, though, is that brad mcgee has done an amazing job turning himself into a gc contender. i hope he didn't burn too many matches at the giro, because i think that he could consistently hold his own in the tour's climbs enough to sneak on to the podium this year. and he's no slacker in the old contre-la-montre, either. so i'm rooting for him because i think he's earned it.

Lance

Tyler

Jan

My hopes:

1. Lance

2. Tyler

3. Jan

My guess:

1. Jan

2. Tyler

3. Lance

1) Lance

2) Jan

3) Mayo

Though I think Jan and t-mobile are a little bit unpredictable, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mayo in #2.
My sentimental pick is Tyler, Lance and Heras on the podium.

1. Lance

2. Mayo

3. Hamilton

Dream

1 Ullrich He let it go too late to be in the top 3, but I want lance to wait a year to get 6.

2 Pattachi Biggest nuts in the game.

3 Magnus Backstaedt After Robaix he deserves the tour too.

Anyone who tells you they're as fast now as they were when they were 18...
sure wasn't very fast when they were 18.

Hmm. So far it's mostly different permutations of LA, Tyler, Jan w/a spackling of Mayo.

No Heras, Zubeldia, Basso, Sevilla, Simoni, Leipheimer, Mancebo, etc...or any dark horses. Not trying to influence any picks at all, just observing. Keep 'em coming.

Ok, now that I've posted this I see Julich/Heras sightings.

1. Jan

2. Tyler
