Regardless of who you think WILL win, who would be your favourite winner from the three in contention?

Personally, I've become a big fan of Pereiro over the last few weeks and I think it would be great for the sport if he could win it.

I agree, but that's not what I asked.
I think Landis made a big mistake letting have the best part of 30 minutes. I think he has grown massively as a rider since taking the MJ and I would love to see him hold on to it.
If Landis loses this TDF (regardless of how brilliantly he rode today) he only has himself and maybe his team mangement to blame.
GO OSCAR!

All you need in life is luck.
He lost twenty-odd minutes; the next day he was in the action, the day after that he got in the break. He made his luck.

2 days ago I would have said Sastre, but got to go Floyd now.
