2000 miles in three weeks with just your legs and a bike.. no other sporting event is quite like this one.. three weeks of agony just to even finish and only about 5 people out of the 198 starters can even win the thing

60mph with just abit of lycra between you and the road when you crash!!

Should be one of the best races for awhile although 03 was also pretty special

Will be following Lance again this year but also hoping Heras can give him a run for his money, he should be right up there for the KOM anyway

not sure about T-Mobile Vinakourov is prob the best rider in the team but too many chiefs and not enough indians in their team with Kloden and Ullrich as well

also Basso, Sastre, Valverde should also be in the hunt for stage wins and high placings
