Is Cadel's team strong this year?
He did not seem to get much help in Italy.
I think he lost heaps of time on one stage and that was it for him.

Ballan was stood down from racing during the Giro, Hincapie and some others where racing in California and a couple of other team mates were either injured just before the race or during the crashes in the first three days. Having said that I still think Cadel will still find himself alone a lot in the mountains where Vino and Contador or the Schleks or Lance and Levi can team up and isolate him.

Commissaire had to pull these guys up for not wearing their helmets during the race.
