I have no idea how to handicap the Women's race, so I'll let CN do it for me.
Continuing to poach from CN, the Spanish pin their hopes on Alejandro Valverde. Speaking of whom, wasn't it only a year ago when he still had a hairline? Not that I'm one to talk, but he seems to be aging in dog years.
Meanwhile, the Italians are pinning their hopes on Paolo Bettini, as you know. Heck, if the Italian footballers can coalesce, maybe the cyclists can too.
Meanwhile, the Burkina Fasoans are pinning their hopes on Jeremie Ouedraogo, winner of the national tour last year.
