This tour has been quite unpredictable. Petachi and Cipolini are both out, and Liberty rode a terrible team time trial. I don't really believe that the GC contention will get interesting till the last week as that is when all the main contenders are trying to peak. In the mean time, I still hold onto a small glimmer of hope for Heras. Witht he moutain stages here, he just might have a chance to finally get back the time he needs before the time trials.
