Thanks again for posting the standings. Kloden seems in an awfully good position & nobody's talking about him. As I recall, he's always been pretty good on the climbs, no? Could he be TMo's trojan horse?

Kloden has been a very good climber in the past, although sometimes inconsistent on back-to-back tough climbing days. Nevertheless, he's probably T-Mobile's best podium shot.

Good point, leilani. Kloden was 2nd to Armstrong in 2004, just ahead of Basso, so he's definitely got the chops as an all-arounder. Gonchar won't hang in the mountains, so Kloden is TMO's best GC candidate, I'll bet we'll see him supported heavily by TMO over the next few days.

Kloden

In my personal handicapping, I had Kloden #2 before the race started, behind Valverde. But Sinkewitz is another T-Mobile dark horse (I projected him #12).
