I'm thinking that someone needs to be inside four minutes to be seen as a threat and then if they are, Astana will watch their every move.

My guess for a potentially pivotal attack would be Tejay, or Rui Costa. Richie Porte can do some damage, but I can't see him getting loose. I don't know who the best descender near the top of the GC is, but someone willing to take some chances to get away going down hill might pull off a surprise.
