2011 Tour of Switzerland

[Gloin22]

Intresting. Sky has a good lead-out team here, and probably very focused to get Swift to win. Hope he gets a stage win.

Stage 4 looks like a decent bet. Cav will be looking at 5 and 8 and the others are for Spartacus or the climbers.

Are you surprised that he's doing a race before the tour?

Cav ?

Your point being?

 

[lucybears]

not really, but I wonder if Suisse is really his cup of tea

The Schlecks will be decent, but I don't think one of them will win. A stage win is probable, but with the TT at the end and it being so close to the tour... don't know, really.

My bet is Horner, too.

 

[El Pistolero]

Weak field this year. Not much people from the Tour going this year except Schleck(s).

As for Cancellara, I don't see him do much here except in the time trials, but I'll be happily proven wrong.

Yes, he'll win a few mountain stages as well.

WOW look at the strength of the team leopard is sending in. That must be their A team and the one their using for the tour. But I will prefer zaugg or poosthuma to replace ogrady.

It looks like Posthuma will be the 9th LEOPARD TREK rider at the TdF. When asked by cyclism'actu at the finish of the Dauphiné prologue, he said:

"Normally I will be at the start, but there is no final decision yet"

so ogrady is out? because I dont see him as much use for leopard. They already have strongmen like montfort, voigt, canc. And ogrady is ageing

Franky will be looking to work up some good form again. I'll pick him.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

FANTASTIC course. I pray for soler

F. Schleck
A. Kloden
A. Schleck
C. Horner
L. Leipheimer
C. Vendevelde
R. Hesjedal
T. Van Garderen
T. Danielson
P. Sagan

Winner will come from the above group. Doubt it will be Sagan, but just threw him in there to satisfy his fans. Well, doubt it will be Tommy D. as well, but who knows...

Looks suspiciously like the Top 10 at the Amgen TOC. Decent group of favorites though.

If you mention almost strictly Anglophone riders, of course it looks like the top-10 in California.

Nobody else is going. Euskatel isn't sending anyone of note. On second glance, I notice that Juan Mauricio Soler will be there. Beyond that, there's not anyone outside of those I mentioned that would be considered a real favorite.

Cunego will be there, but is he really concentrating on GC?

Winning the lotto is more likely then soler performing.

 

[just some guy]

Winning the lotto is more likely then soler performing.

What odds would you get on Soler performing and Cunego doing a good GC.

 

[perico]

Winning the lotto is more likely then soler performing.

My point. Exactly.

No, that's Rujano. And you know what? Maybe he is. Just not every day.
