Alberto Contador pretty much cleaned up at the Giro d'Italia, taking an easy-looking win, not to mention the points classification and a stage or two along the way. He also scored a lot of Fantasy Tour points.
Now the rider list is out, we see that he costs a whopping 30 credits, and he'll have to be super-strong to justify such an investment. The only guide we'll get to his current form is likely to be his result in the Spanish TT champs today, so it will be interesting to see how he does. Contador hasn't raced since the Giro, and his preparation was put off slightly when training in France recently. It seems the Gendarmes didn't like him going through those Alpine tunnels without his lights. I guess Bertie never saw this Public Information gem when he was growing up, otherwise he would have know better.
Steephill.tv has the full provisional list of riders - good place to keep up to date on withdrawals as we head towards the race...

Agree about Contador - another fantasy TDF site has him, Cadel, and Andy on equal points - probably reflects current form better, and taking into account AC's Giro effort...
