Who do you think has the best chance of finishing in the top 6? If Im betting with my heart then its Sanchez all the way but my head is thinking maybe Nibali.
Apart from Wiggo and Evans who would you say is the best time trialer/climber of say the rest of the top ten in the market?

Nibali for me, he's very solid and Sanchez generally has one or two bad days. Less sure about VDB, Evans spoke highly of him recently but last year's crash removes one opportunity to assess him.
However none of these are great prices for Top 6...more fun to look beyond the next six beyond the front 2 for some Top 6 value such as Taaramae, Mollema or Velits. I'd also rather back all 3 of those you name for Top 3 rather than one for Top 6, you could even collect on more than one if someone has a serious go at cracking the the aged Aussie and the over-hyped track star in the (albeit very limited this year) mountain stages.

He's outside the top 10 in the market, but Tony Martin is world TT champ and has some climbing form going back to 2009, before he became one of the main driving forces in Cavendish's HRT train. Whether that climbing form was good enough is probably reflected in his long price.
The other downsides are his preparation has been interrupted by injuries sustained in an accident in the Spring and he's gone on record as saying his primary objective this season is the Olympic TT gold. Also, his price has been drifting in the last few days, which will be seen as a negative by some and a potential opportunity by others...

Maybe Taaramae could be an outside bet for a bit of an outside interest.
