Stage 16 Pick

Vino. Hah. Vino. (and by Vino, of course, I mean wine).

Who: Iban Mayo
Why: He's a Spaniard and they're going through Spain today. The Col d'Aubisque is somewhat near the Spanish border and is also a pretty long and steady climb, favoring old man strength versus the short and steep climbs that require youthful explosiveness. The only thing that concerns me is that, in light of the Vino news (again, wine, of course), there could be a big protest. However, given the tight race between Contador (definitely a doper) and Rasmussen (double-definitely a doper), a protest-neutralized stage is unlikely.
