Kinda interesting to see Miguel Indurain's speculation at this point. From what I recall, last year Indurain wasn't too positive on the likelihood of Lance winning Tour #6, but now he seems pretty optimistic. It's gonna be tough to wait another 4 months see how things pan out for this year's Tour.

From this VeloNews article:

"As we see him going now, and looking at his rivals, I see him with the capacity to win a sixth Tour," Indurain said. "I see him with the same motivation as other years and his results so far this year indicate he took care of himself over the winter."

"Physically, he looked good even though the last Tour there were a lot of problems," Indurain said. "It's obvious that the passing years don't count in your favor, because you lose your explosiveness and this has always been his strength. But you gain experience at the same time and that's important, too. Every year it's harder to find the form and it takes longer to recover during the races. It's essential to arrive in good form at the start."
