If you can all submit your team to me, i.e. 9 riders - I will set up a scoring system (points per stage, nrs 1 to 5 of each stage get 10 - 8 - 6 - 4 and 2 points and an additional 2 points per yellow jersey per day) and double points for the final classification. So my team will be: Alberto Contador Cadel Evans Oscar Feire Mark Cavendish Andy Schleck Carlos Sastre Robert Gesink Roman Kreuziger Sylvain Chavanel OK - let’s do this proper.

I think the top 5 will be. 1.Contador (best climber, suprisingly good time trialist too!) 2.Evans (eternal bridesmaid) 3.Menchov (Strong all round but maybe not strong enough to beat the above riders) 4.Sastre (Great climber, decent time trialist but maybe a bit past it) 5.Andy Schleck (amazing climber, will lose too much time in the time trial) I agree with al, Lance will finish top 10 at best at the tour, hes just not good enough anymore at either time trialing or climbing to win it.

I think the top 5 will be.

1.Contador (best climber, suprisingly good time trialist too!)
2.Evans (eternal bridesmaid)
3.Menchov (Strong all round but maybe not strong enough to beat the above riders)
4.Sastre (Great climber, decent time trialist but maybe a bit past it)
5.Andy Schleck (amazing climber, will lose too much time in the time trial)
