Will we have a repeat of 2007?

After and fun-filled cocktail party the TOUR officially began on Wednesday. To no surprise, Michael Goulet wasted no time separating himself from the pack. You could see that he kicked his training up a notch. And of course, in every competition, the rumors were flying during the cocktail party. "Is he natural or is he enhancing?" Well, we will all find out in Florida when the drug testing occurs. But Michael was not the only attention getter at the party. I should have known that Otis Lester was going to call out Mark Revelia. Those two haven't stopped since last year when they were 'the rookies to watch'. John Geraghty showed up with his hog; apparently he thinks that all bikes are created equal; sorry John, no motors allowed. The other big todo was which rookie will make their name known in the TOUR. With 18 new riders the spread is diverse. But Mark McEvoy, Andrew Micherdzinski and Ryan Jones are the strong favorites. But it is too soon to tell and that conversation started after too many cocktails.
It's time to hit the road and allow our skills to show who's best on the GS road.
