I'm rooting for Pinot. But realistically he has no chance.
-
Buffalo I've also got a soft spot for Pinot, but his form hasn't been the greatest this year.
Also Rolland for KOM? -
Shut your mouth. Cycling is a visual spectacle. If we didn't have the opportunity to admire those who look good on a bike in full flight, there would be no fucking point in watching the whole tedious procession.
My bad. I take it all back. Pantani forever!
-
Go Cadel.
Ih gets into the top 5 I'll eat my softshell....
No wait I've already done that. He'll be a danger at the Tour. However I'm going for another Australian...
Little Richie Porte! Last year will look like a moonlight meal for two compared to the throwdown between Porte and Froome, especially when paparazzi pictures emerge of Cound sucking on Little Richie's Little Richie. Going to be blood on the streets

"Gert Steegmans will be the last man, and Matteo Trentin will be the second to last man. But, all the team will be committed with Mark when the stage will fit his characteristics.
Tony Martin will be there to ride to the 'Flamme Rouge' [final kilometre] on the flat stages. He will bring Matteo, Gert and Cav into the best position possible in the final kilometre."I can't see anyone being able to go past those four in the final km's on the sprints, steegmans is a good sprinter in his own right, but if he's leading cav he might be, dare i say, unbeatable? Would be nice to see boonen lead cav out once this season though.
As for GC:
- Froome
- Cadel
- Nibbles/Porte
- Froome

sirbikealot, Nibali isn't riding the tour this year..

Argos-Shimano have got Kittel to lead out Degenkolb, or is it Degenkolb to lead out Kittel?
-
Nah, just some good number crunching of w/kg and gradients and stuff I can have a wank about at lunchtimes.

fuck, i look like a dick, ah well, froome, cadel, porte then

but with martin just motoring on the front going into the last km, the best they can do is get cav's wheel and try and go round him, and everyone's seen how hard that is

Story and footage of a bizarre looking crash in the Crystal Cup course at the Air Force Classic in the US..

Sprint finishes are messy and unpredictable, OPQS aren't going to have it all their way. Kittal and Degenkolb are on good form, then there's Greipel and Sagan, and Theo Bos is showing good form, beating Cav and Greipel in a stage at (deep breath) Ster ZLM Toer GP Jan van Heeswijk
-
Ok just seen the Blanco squad, Cav doesn't need to worry about Bos, he got cut. Looks like they're putting all their weight behind Mollema

So who are the favourites for the tour? Can't see past Froome really, and Contador if he can sustain any sort of attack in the mountains.
Van garderen? Evans? Gesink? Rodriguez?
Who who who will be in the mix?
