    Tour de France Stage 4: Lorient - Mur de Bretagne - 172.5 km

    Cant really see beyond gilbert for this one. He is really good at the short steep ones just like the mur de huy when he won fleche wallonne. With regards to the favourites i do think contador will give a dig because of the circumstances he is in but he will be well marshalled by the other GC...

    So why shouldn't AC have a stomach full of anger now?

    I would not listen to anything schleck has to say. This is the man who said that even if contador is found guilty and last years tour is taken off him contador will still be the winner in his eyes. Its this sort of attitude from riders like him which is the problem in this sport. Plus i dont...

    Contador set to be greatest grand tour rider since Hinault

    For me if contador does a giro tour double he passes out indurain and armstrong. Because of the difficulty of this years giro it would be an extra special achievement if he could do the double. One thing i didnt like about lance is his ignorance towards the giro in those years of his 7 wins. If...

    wiggo in the red

    He might of won the dauphine but he did look to be struggling at times to stay with the other favourites in the mountains.

    who are the most overrated riders in the peloton in your opinion?

    For me it has to be wiggins. He wins the dauphine and the british media automatically think he can go toe to toe with the schlecks and contador in the mountains with regards to the overall. Also i have been a bit disappointed with dan martin. He might of won the tour of poland and people say he...

    Tour de France - Who will finish higher (w/o Contador and Schleck)

    I hav to agree with bruyneel when talkin to the belgian media when he said VDB was a good bet for a podium plus contador even went as far as to say he could even be a dark horse for the overall victory. In the dauphine he showed a more aggressive streak than usual when attacking early on a...

    2011 Tour de France Stage 1: Passage du Gois - Mont des Alouettes 191.5 km

    Everyone is saying gilbert or hushovd but i have feeling for goss who showed in milan san remo he could get over the poggio in good nick. With the ending too tough for cav i think HTC will give goss the freedom to go on this stage.
