Is Heras really a better climber than Cunego and Valverde? Valverde already has 1 min and he might turn out to be stronger in the TTs than Heras this year. Also, Menchov is a great climber and has a champion's attitude, as well as a decent TT. And I'm beggining to believe in Beloki. If Joseba really is back, I'm not sure Heras will be able to get enough time on the steep hills to make up for Beloki's TT.

And don't forget Hamilton. He can climb and is now the clear Phonak leader since Sevilla is struggling.
