hmm, no-namers?? Alejandro Valverde, Robert Gesink, Ivan Basso, Samuel
Sánchez, Cadel Evans, etc, are no-namers??? They are top level runners,
some of which have been several times in the TdF podium.

So, even though Contador, the Schlek bros and Armstrong are not running,
the top 10 could perfectly be a TdF top 10 (with Contador, Schlek and
Armstrong inserted in between :)
