He was beaten by Geraint Thomas recently as well.

Even after Thomas fell off?

Even after Thomas fell off?

Sorry it was Cancellara, not Martin. He never fell off, he won: Bayern Rundfahrt

How about team classification (same points as sprint and KOM)?

Hmmm, not sold on that one. What does the panel think?

Lanterne Rouge: Christian Knees
...
I may change my mind on some/all of these when/if I've had a closer look at the start list.

I'm changing this one, since he isn't even in the race...

Lanterne rouge: Xabier Zandio (should stand a good chance in the event that the GC is decided by alphabetical order for some reason)

Stage 2 - Voeckler

 

[themosquitoking]

Stage 2 - Froome. He may as well stamp his authority all over this and get it won asap.

C2. Froome

[smutchin]

Stage 2 - Froome. He may as well stamp his authority all over this and get it won asap.

I think you may be on to something here. I'm tempted to change my prediction but I won't - I'll stick with Atapuma for stage 2.
