  • I really quite like the crop of French riders at the top this year. In fact now that Nibali and Contador are sinking out of contention, I'm having a hard time coming up with a GC contender that I'll be annoyed about if they do win.

    Naturally I'm backing Froome because British and I'd like to see a defending champion actually defend. However I'd be happy for any of them to win. Not only that but watching all the other little stories unfold like Cav chipping away at Merckx, Sagan being Sagan, the photo finishes, McLay, I'm already excited by what has, so far, been quite a boring Tour. Yes, I know that Sky are going to try and boring their way into a win but with the likes of Avermaet, Voeckler, hopefully Cummings and some others, I'm think we're going to see some passionate racing.
