To me it looks like they both came together haussler being much taller then cav did see him and cav was being and idiot sprinting with his head down both at fault.

I agree McEwen maybe is the best ever but he has the most explosive sprint

Evans has the best form of any of the favorites exceot maybe Vino. But either way he has a good chance at the win

Not that lofty he has done it before and is riding well so far he will get on a podium this year it just depends on which GT

That is very true the reason i did use "sir Lance" is because he was able to manage his effort well, and ride well at the tour. But you are right that it does depend on how much it takes out of the rider which is what I meant when I said it depends on the rider and the way they react to the race.

But Lance did the giro and also did well at the tour so it may depend on the rider. But at the same time he wasnt on form there either so we will see. Another rider who caved last year after riding the giro was Sastre. It all comes down to what kind of form Cadel has at the Giro and how he...

Schleck's plus Kirchen and then scrape up the whole other 4 riders in LUX they would do ok. Italy would be solid aswell with Cunego Simoni Basso Franco P. and Nibali

The bottom line is That BMC has better quality riders and more to bring to the tour then other teams but if you look at all the teams everyone who is anyone is going to be at the tour. That should make for a great race wich is what the ASO wanted.

Valverde is done for two years so who cares we all know cadel is better and would have won the vuelta if not for the flat but..... coulda woulda shoulda

Lance was "patron" of the peloton but you can't give him that title now, he won a crit in the US and won Ledville in the last two years. Then you have guys like Cavendish who got "beat" like only 4 times last year, Contador who Has won every grand tour he has started in the past 2 years, you...

I dont think so evans showed that he is a better climber then Basso in the vuelta he will certainly be stronger in the giro but sastre will be a problem

TOC is growing every year it was a good move to have it in may because now they can have so real climbs and not worry about snow. Also thaey are getting big names and it wont be three guys specially prepared in febuary for the race.

Lotto was a joke. they only have Gilbert and Hoste. I think Garmin and Saxo will be the closest condenders to Columbia. Garmin because Farrar has such a solid lead out train now and CV will be back this year i think. and Saxo well we all know why with Cancellara Schlecks Ogrady (if he can get it...

"not so great GC contender" :confused: He has finished Second in the tour twice in some of the closest finishes ever. By saying that you basically said that Basso Ulrich Kloden Levi etc. are not so good GC contenders!!!!!Cadel is one of the most solid riders in the peloton!
