Contador. Nobody as old as Armstrong has ever won the thing, going all the way back to 1903. (The oldest winner was Firmon Lambot in 1922, age 36.) Even if Contador crashed out or got sick I wouldn't make Armstrong the favorite. Contador has already won the TDF, plus the Giro and the Vuelta just last year, and he is 27 years old. Armstrong's winning 7 times in a row was remarkable and unprecedented, but winning at age 37 (almost 38) would top that by a lot.
