Tour of California 2009
      #47816 - 08/02/2009 12:17

Predictions are invited for the 2009 Amgen Tour of California. Those nice people have at CyclingFever have a start list here, which is handy as the official site only lists what teams have entered.

So will Lance work for Levi?
Will anyone beat Cancellara in the time trial?
Are we ready for the next round of Cav vs Big Tom?
Will anyone notice Floyd is back?
Will anyone post there predictions after 21:30GMT/13:30PST on the 14th February after predictions close?

Stage information can be found on the offical site here or on CyclingFever here.

It's a small tour, same as the Tour Down Under so pleae predict three riders who you think will do well on the stages and for the GC, KOM and Points jerseys.

Deadline for predictions is 21:30GMT/13:30PST 14th February 2009 (i.e. before the race starts).

It's probably too early for Cav to grab the sprint jersey (although he'll probably grab a couple of stage wins. A bit early in the season for Armstrong to get the overall too. But I think he'll try a bit, being on home soil and all. In fact I fancy that he'll want to win the "Breakaway from Cancer Most Courageous Jersey". But since that one isn't being consideed here, my predictions are:-

Leipheimer
Boonen
Armstrong
