Anyone watching?

With no Opening prologue and new more aggressive doping controls, it seems like the racing has more high speed attacks.

The French are hungry for a stage and of course the overall since they haven't had a winner since 1985 with Bernard Hinault-"The Badger".
They have been extremely active this week.

Nice too see two American teams doing well- Garmin- Slipstream-Chipotle team and the Newly Renamed Team Columbia(clothing). Formerly Team High Road.

Christian Vande Velde and Will Frishkorn of the US have so far showed great promise.

Unfortunately, Manuel Beltran(Lance Armstrong's former domestique') tested positive for EPO.

Who do you think will win? Will it be Cadel Evans of Australia? Alexandre Valverde? Maybe David Millar of Great Britain?
Who your picks (in order) for placing on the general classification?
This has been a great tour because of the consistently aggressive racing.
