No Contador in Paris-Nice? No Wiggo either. Then who will win it, Froome?

Apparently no froome either.

Schleck, Froome, Wiggo, Alberto all in TA

[Dazed and Confused]

Purito as well.

well, it will not be easy to win some of these WT races in '13.
Bonus secs at T-A?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Kern dreaming of yellow.

 

[Parrulo]

"Forth! Down fear of darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Unzue! wheels shall be shaken, frames shall be splintered! A bike day... a though day... and the finish line rises! Ride now... Ride now... Ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death!"

You mean Valverde will win?

Who else... Van Garderen? It will be a Paris-Nice with a historically weak field, it seems. And without a single former winner.

 

[Parrulo]

costa will win obviously

 

[Miburo]

costa will win obviously

Maybe Martin

You just don't dare name a certain Blanco rider, who's made it his first peak of the season, a possible winner.

Yeah, Gesink too. Forgot about him.

Well, this is his chance. Although I also forgot about T-Mart.

 

[will10]

Will Katusha be invited? I'd have thought not unless Purito commits to riding, who normally does Tirreno.
