	Still up in the air at the moment. Probably Contador. Still the long TT and Mont Ventoux to come along with an alp or two so the GC hasn't really taken its proper shape yet. Green jersey is shaping up to be quite interesting mind.

	Now there's an old piccie! A number of those front riders have been banned since that picture was taken. I think the general opinion of the riders is that Lance can still do it and I probably agree. The wise 'old' man may pull it off yet.

	Bradley Wiggins in third. Could he be on for a podium?

	Go Bradley! I remember him winning the Junior world track pursuit title, who would have thought he'd be in that position now? Who knows, the crunch stage for him is hanging in there on Ventoux, he can certainly give a good account of himself in the time trial. Hoping that this years tour isn't tarnished by any more drug issues. That said I've every admiration for all the riders however they manage it.

	Maybe, but there's still a lot of hills to go. He should do ok in the TT, but there are still a lot of hills to go, including the Ventoux.

	I know that cycling is a popular second sport for sailors as it gives us something to do when there is no wind, and its also a fun way of getting / keeping fit. Thought I'd start a thread so people can post pics of their bikes and things and chat about cycling stuff! Cycling Thread
