Ok I need some help QUICK. A co-worker and I are going to have a little TdF wager (just lunch). Anyway, the deal is we both pick 3 riders. On the final podium if our riders are up there we get points 3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd. The person with the most points wins.

Currently I am leaning towards picking these 3 guys

Rasmussen
Mayo
Hincapie

but I also like Zabriske, and Kloden
Help help!

This tour has longer time trials and less mountains than usual.
I think it is going to better suited to the all around riders more so than the pure climbers like Mayo and Rasmussin.

I would pick
Valverde,
Landis,
Hincapie.

My last choice is a local boy/sentimental favorite.
Leipheimer could be replaced with anyone of those as well.

....and Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris is not riding in the Tour of France.
He IS the Tour of France. He is the course.
And he brings pain and suffering every year.
