2008 Tour De France
It’s time for me to dust off the keyboard and pick up from where I’ve sadly had to leave off with CyclingBeat. Woe the lack of coverage of ProTour events during the rest of the year, the nasty vagaries of time differences and the UCI’s insistence that only 1 ProTour race will be held in Australia per year.
It’s time for the Tour de France again and I’ll be following along with my Cadel Watch for the third year. With Astana still paying the price for last year’s indiscretions, Alberto Contador won’t get the opportunity to defend his title.
Cadel will be one of the major chances again with Silence-Lotto announcing they will be behind their man this year. His main dangers are Valverde, Sastre, Menchov and Cunego and a couple of Euskaltel guys by the names of Sanchez and Zubeldia could pop up too. Oh yeah, and last year’s surprise packet Mauricio Soler will be back with the Barloworld team.
