Have you ever watched the Tour before? Armstrong doesn't give a shit about stage 1. He never did. No tour winner ever gives a shit about the first week. It doesn't mean shit.
I don't expect Armstrong to win. What I suspect will happen is that Armstrong will bust ass, make people think he wants to win, and then step back to help Contador win the GC. Armstrong has no real need to win this race. He doesn't need the money, he doesn't need the victory. He's racing now because he wants to race, not because he has anything to prove.
Armstrong will help Contador win by pulling him up the hills, he'll help him win at least two stages. You'll see the ultimate Tour de France champion help his team win while stepping back. It will catapult him even further into legend status.
