SPR™ Jul 2009 5:30pm, 6 Jul 2009 5,611 posts	0 SPR™ Just what I posted on the Tri thread. Protocol means they'll defend yellow as long as the man in yellow can keep it. If Contador can keep his cool, i still see him blowing the rest away in the mountains.

hammerite Jul 2009 5:41pm, 6 Jul 2009 5,905 posts	0 hammerite Columbia put in a good TTT in the giro, so I think they'll still be a contender. Garmin claim they've got in so many good time triallists so they could target the TTT, so I don't think it's a full gone conclusion that Astana will boss it tomorrow.
