I don't think he started this tour thinking he would be in a position to win, but he's got a great situation right now. If Contador is in the kind of shape he was in before his suspension he's a legit GC contender. Lance had a hard time with the last couple tours because everyone was gunning for him, now he can play the card that the other teams have to defend against both Contador and himself. He could be in a very good position to steal a few stages or the GC if Contador has a bad day in the mountains and has to take a supporting role.
