I am surprised they don't blame the Gypsies. This stealing bikes is becoming a tradition these days. Sad even if they took tasteless bikes. As far as Sunday, I hope my French team's effort will pay better than what they did in the under 23 race. With all their attacks and nothing to show at the end. I loved that the kept their words to make the race exciting, but I think we need some results for the moral.Galic Ho said:Blame the British. Seems only fair. There are enough visiting based on the flags I've seen on tv
This has happened before at multiple worlds.
You can tell they have no taste. Katusha bikes? So they lacked taste in what they stole...Canyon, I say good luck to them.
Blame the visitors dude. Not your own. Works like a charm.
Oh and the race. My picks, Cancellara, Sagan, Valverde and Nibali.
Outside chances...maybe Purito. Don't know about Gilbert anymore. If it rains I don't know about Valverde. If it rains Nibali's chances go through the roof.
I want Nibali to win!!![]()

Descender said:Since when?
Maaaaaaaarten said:Dauphine stage he won, he was great on the descent of Col de Joux Plane, that's where he earned his reputation. He also won Pais Vasco because of superior bike handling skills in the TT.
Flamin said:That's a pretty big exaggeration.
Maaaaaaaarten said:Evans and Nibali were attacking on the descent and he didn't lose any time to them, IIRC
Lanark said:Yeah, Nibali even lost 9 minutes to him. That was quite the descend.
Maaaaaaaarten said:okay, maybe not Nibali
Evans did though, I'm sure.

Galic Ho said:The French U23 men did a good job making the race exciting. Is Chavanel racing? He'd be my pick. Voeckler...yeah, I still don't get why people are throwing Tommy's name around. Maybe 2011 Tommy, but not 2013 lil Tommy. Chavanel I like based on this year. He throws his hand in, then yeah. Pinot? Maybe...I haven't checked the French team roster. I honestly just planned on watching and seeing who is on the road apart from the favourites.

Descender said:Don't know about his reputation, but his descent of Pailheres in this year's TdF was subpar.
