A Tour with many questions, but few answers
When Lance Armstrong was winning the Tour every year, the only real question before the race was not ?Who will win?? but ?Can anyone get close to him?? Now, after two totally unpredictable Tours, both of them ruined by doping controversies, it looks like we?re about to start on another Magical Mystery Tour. All the same, it?s still fun trying to peek into the crystal ball.
Without defending champion Alberto Contador, and with no really clear favorite, it?s possible to make a ... read more

Caisse d'Épargne: Valverde aiming for podium
Spain?s Green Bullet isn?t sweating it. Alejandro Valverde says if he doesn?t win the Tour de France this year, he?s got plenty more in his legs.
That?s not to say that he?s shying away from a unique opportunity to become the third consecutive Spanish winner, but Spain?s El Imbatido ? ?the unbeaten one? ? is trying to tamp down over-zealous expectations from national media who are hyping his chances in the absence of defending champion Alberto Contador.

CSC-Saxo Bank ready to roll
Just looking at the faces of Team CSC-Saxo Bank?s nine-man lineup Tour de France squad and it?s obvious that this team means business.
With the lone exception of baby-faced Tour rookie Andy Schleck, CSC consists of hard-nosed, bad-asses who intend to impose their will on the race. And maybe even take the overall to boot.
?We bring a strong and experienced team to the Tour,? said team boss Bjarne Riis, the king of the understatement. ?Experience counts for a lot in a race like ... read more
