The Competition

Tour is coming up for Thor, let's have a quick look at his main adversaries:

Robbie McEwen
Some say Robbie is getting old, and that's annoying the Aussie veteran a lot. He will be more motivated than ever before to show that he's still there.


Daniele Bennati
The winner in Paris last year, and a very succesful Giro this year, Benatti will be looking for more victory in France this summer.



Mark Cavendish
New British sprint star Mark Cavendish will be a hard one to beat. He showed how very fast he is on several occasions already this year. They said he won't survive the mountain stages. Haven't heard a lot of that since he finished the Giro last month...

Gert Steegmans
With Boonen gone, Steegmans might just be the new Belgian sprinting star this year. He showed his potential already last year when he surprised even his own boss Boonen, taking the win in Gent.

Oscar Freire
Spanish wonderboy Oscar Freire is delicate, but when he is injury free, he will be a force to reckon with. Three World Championships and numerous Tour stages are not your every day wins.
