Although the form of some of the contenders has been revealed to some extent (Levi certainly has lost something, while Iban Mayo is re-living a nightmare), the parcours of Stage 11 will certainly sort things out a bit. Tomorrow we'll finally see who the representatives for T-Mobile and Discovery will be, if Michael Rasmussen has the form to reclaim the Polka Dot jersey he won last year, and whether Floyd Landis' or Cadel Evans' teams are strong enough to support their leaders.
One thing you won't see, however, is a change of the Maillot Jaune, as the last two Frenchman (Francois Simon and Thomas Voeckler) to wear the yellow tunic have defended the jersey with everything they possess (including the proverbial kitchen sink). Look for Christophe Moreau (Ag2R) to contest every Mountain Point with Michael Rasmussen, possibly in an early break.
