I'm bucking the trend and backing Armstrong. It's Lance Fucking Armstrong ffs. You just don't bet against Lance Fucking Armstrong at the Tour de France. I had no idea who to pick for the jerseys, but I always liked Thor and I also like that Frenchie Moncoutie 'cos he's got a reputation for being clean. Copied others in picking Andy Schleck for young rider. I picked someone at random with a funny name for the red lantern.
