the tour starts tonight

with a short time trial, the tour de france gets under way tonight, and from what i've heard, there is a record seven cyclists this year, competing clean, haha. cynicism aside, this should be a really good tour with lance armstrong back, and team astana (i hate this team and bruyneel so much) having three or four tour contenders, it should be very exciting, unless it turns into a cake walk early. hopefully it comes down to the mont ventoux stage (19 i think) to decide who the overall winner will be, that would be awesome, especially because it should be on a weekend on watchable. i don't think i'll be staying up for every stage again this year, just the mountain stages which are always the most interesting. let's all put our support behind cadel evans and michael rogers for the overall, although i'm pretty sure neither has a realistic chance, considering the strength of the other teams (columbia is strong, but i don't think rogers has the climbing legs), but cadel should be able to fight for a podium spot again.
pic taken from smh.com.au, it's the 2007 tour podium.
