    Hey guys, go to VeloNews.com for all the up to date racing news. There has been a lot of changes to the pro-tour teams since the season ended, most noteably Astana signing Leipheimer, Contador and Bruyneel. They still have Gusev and Kloden so they should be a force. But of course Slipstream signed Danielson, Millar, Zabriskie, Vande Veld, Laurent, and still has Pate as well.

    On paper, Astana is again looking like the team to beat. However, I am sure Team Slipstream is going to be gunning for them hard. It should be an interesting race.

    I'm pretty sure Astana is a Kazakhstan team. I don't know the current line up of the teams yet so I'll make a guess: CSC. I'd love to see a US regional team win but that won't happen with the 1/2 dozen Euro power houses present.

    it's a toss-up, we'll have to wait n see.

    i thought Astana was out due to doping from the TdF?

    I'm hoping that a domestic team, like Slipstream or Rock Racing takes it.
