I cant think of a more entertaining year since I started watching in 2000.

Bet you spell 'peloton' peleton too.

FWIW, the sprot will be great this year - the 'scandals' will
discourage the July 1 to early August crowd of newbies, who insist on
discussing the Tour de France and the way Bobke pronounces it Tour Day
France. So this year we can ignore that race in France and argue over
who would have won if they were allowed to enter, but weren't. My
virtual podium is:

1. Basso
2. Landis
3. Pereira (edges out Ullrich, as Jan was technically a retirement)

and wonderfully, Zabel shakes off old age and wins the green.

The last is shaky - he may lose the green by being allowed to race
afterall.

I don't have a mountain jersey. What's with those guys? All the
virtual winners of the polka dots have retired, unless I missed
someone in all the retirements and confessions and allegations.

And nominating a virtual white jersey is downright cynical. Not going
to go there.
