Holtz\n\nHoltz is crafty, and his glasses weigh less.  He should be more mobile against JoPa's recent injury.\n\nGood match for the Octagon though...

This year's Tour is marked by an increase in the amount of time trialing, Ullrich's forte. Furthermore, the Tour's last week is in the Alps. The Keiser constantly is at his best in the Alps, and in the last week. Where has Ivan Basso been since his Giro victory? Nowhere! Meanwhile, Der Jan goes out and wins the Tour of Switzerland with a stunning final time trial. My prediction, Basso peaked too early for the Giro d'Italia, and Ullrich takes the top spot on the podium. Basso will still capture second, and third place will go to either Floyd Landis, Cadel Evans, or Levi Leipheimer. Outside chances to look out for will both come from Discovery Channel in the form of Big George Hincapie and the Ukranian Yaroslav Popovych.

Michael Schumacher of course

definitely Michael Schumacher. He is a living legend and the only one to have the machinery, car, tyres and the motivation to dod so. There is no doubt in my mind that Schumi will get his 8th World Championship this season.

Flapping Fabian for sure.  But only because you never know whats coming next.  If you want someone who is rock solid, then Coupet

Fernando Alonso is easily winning so far. \n\nBut Kimi Raikkonen will challenge him once the European season starts and McLaren tweak their car slightly. \n\nNo one else is really in a position to challenge for the title.

I will go for Germany. France may need to buck up. As zidane the play maker had retired. Italy is a team which is not consistent. They had lost to France in the euro qualifying which doubt their world cup champion.

I think that Rafa Marquez is crucial for Mexico because he is the leader in the defense (luckily he is one of the best in the world in his position).  But in the offence, El Guille Franco is the best scorer--Omar Bravo is playing extremelly well--hopefully Lavolpe will give him enough minutes..

Prominant or dominant?\nProminant: Jan Ulrich, Tom Boonen, and Alessandro Petacchi.  In europe these guys are rock stars.\nDominant (this year): Tom Boonen Ivan Basso, and Alejandro Valverde.  You could also mention good-ole-Pennsylvania-boy Floyd Landis.  These guys have won a ton of races this year.\nPromoting cycling as a sport?  I assume you mean in the USA, because in Europe it's a big sport.  Culturally cycling is not an American sport.  Cylcing glorifies perseverance over victories; survival and indefatigable, tinacity is remembered  sometimes regardless of the outcomes of the races.  American culture generally accepts wins as the only measure of greatness.\nWithout a general shift in what Americans are looking for in their champions there will never be a wide spread understanding of cycling.\nAlso, cycling is difficult to watch on tv.  It is hard to film.  The route and the weather are oponents a rider must race against (hills can be more famous than riders).  It can take 6-hours for a race to develop.  Spectators will wait at the side of the road for hours to see ten seconds of a race.  After the race passes there is no way to actually see how the race further develops.\nIt's a great sport but it will never be as popular as the spectator friendly American sports.

Zidane. He led France but to the Finals. But what he did was foolish. But i will still vote for him. Cannavaro is not the only one who led Italy to the final. Cuz Italy defenders are strong. Not only him. But for France, ZIdane is the most influncing Play maker.
