Tour de France
This is one of the most exciting tours for years. Recently drug scandals have sapped my enthusiasm, but this year was much anticipated with the return of Armstrong, and it hasn't disappointed. Armstrong is not in the same form as in his record seven tour wins but is certainly capable of a top ten finish. Contador remains the favourite. Mark Cavendish has demonstrated again he's clearly the best sprinter in the world, & if he can survive the Alps must be favourite to hold on to the green jersey. Bradley Wiggins has been a revelation, showing himself to be one of the rarest of species, a Brit who can live with the top contenders over the high mountain peaks. Wiggins is 5th in GC, if he can hang on in the Alps, he is excellent bet for a podium finish with his time-trialing ability.
