I've been looking at Saturday's opening TT in Monaco and it seems like it plays right into the hands of the GC contenders. With about half of the 15 km's uphill, it's far too lumpy for the rouleurs and prologue specialists but also has enough rolling sections that it doesn't really favour the pure climber either. Contador, Leipheimer, Armstrong and Evans will no doubt prosper and right off the bat we could see the GC order established. Perhaps more interesting will be the performances of Carlos Sastre and Andy Schleck, who will need to minimize their losses in the time trials if they are to grab a spot on the podium.
