The Schlecks need to get away from Cadel and Voekler by at least three minutes on one of the stages in the Alps to give them enough cushion for the ITT in Grenoble.

Evans can hammer, so can Voekler; but I think Andy Schleck can fly by himself too. There aren't many grade changes on the TT course, but 42kilos can present some opportunities for the clock to be moved.

Right now it looks like the only people with a chance to alter the outcome are in the top nine places. Tom Danielson has been impressive at times, maybe he will be the surprise. I have no idea how he is in TTs.
