2023 Tour de France: Who do you want to win?

[firefly3323]

Pinot

I do believe in miracles

 

[Red Rick]

If you think he has zero personality outside of what he has said (of which talking about his family is the only thing that counts), then I think you either mean a particular kind of personality and not zero, or you just don't base it on his racing at all.

Does Froome have any personality? Did Evans?

Personality definitely exists outside of interviews alone

Vingegaard's racing style is usually kind of bland, the Granon stage was the exception. He also just has no charisma in general. Your assumptions make no sense.

Froome was worse than Vingegaard (Finestre raid aside) - the combination of an overreliance on trains and constantly looking at your stem to see what numbers you're doing is the opposite of being exciting. Even now that he's irrelevant, comments like blaming his Tour non-selection on bad equipment aren't doing anything to help his cause. The majority of Evans' career is before my time so harder to pass judgment there.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Any answer that is not “Pinot to be given 6-7 minutes on the Tourmalet stage and then sensationally defending it the whole way to Paris” is the wrong answer.

 

[Potomac]

I'm not sure why the selection list of "who will win" is the same as "want to win"

I want this guy to win:
POWLESS Neilson

 

[Anderis]

Why is A Yates brother in the poll but not S Yates brother?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

For me it’s the other way around. Pogacar, because I don’t like Jumbo.

I get why you don’t like UAE though, but Jumbo has some arrogance around them including their riders.

It's not really arrogance that ticks me off. It's their sanctimonious attitude that's off-putting for me.

 

[Savant12]

Why is A Yates brother in the poll but not S Yates brother?

They're pretty much interchangeable.

 

[Nick2413]

Pog over Jonas but Bernal if miracles happen.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Anyone who tries to take the attack to Pogacar and Vingegaard however foolish it might be has my support.

I hope Richie does it like 2019

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Teddy. Time to regain the crown and get a rare Flandres-Tour double!

Sign me up to team Pogi as well. I like Hindley for what it's worth but realistically speaking this one will be a Vinge-Pog duel, so we must choose sides.

Obviously I'd vote Rogla but he's currently holding the Giro trophy in one hand, a cerveza in the other & he's got a pair of flipflops on his feet. So the TdF will have to wait one more year to be Roglified.

In the meantime, Pog will get his 3rd.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm against using human prizes for multiple reasons, but if I had to pick someone, then I wouldn't mind winning Madouas. He's a loyal friend who'd be willing to carry me around if needed,

Guillaume Martin getting a Tour victory would be glorious.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Pogacar, as he is the most exciting and talented rider I have seen with my two eyes, so I want him to have a palmares to reflect that

So, you're saying that those of us who voted "Pinot's pet goat" are the ones who voted something that isn't borderline human trafficking? Otoh, I don't think a goat in a one-bedroom, 2nd floor flat would be a good idea...

 

[Elos Anjos]

Team Pogi all the way.

Well I believe Thibaut is actually Kim's pet human.

 

[red_flanders]

Of the realistic candidates, Pogi. I'm glad Vingegaard won last year, as it added some spice to what looked like was going to be dominance, but Pogi is just a much more appealing rider and personality for me than Vingo. Love his attitude, his panache, and it looks like he has fun on the bike.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So many people want Pogacar to win, wow. I suppose his loss last year influenced the numbers greatly.

 

[Kaptain Kool]

Voted for Pogacar. He's the least coward.

His biggest rival not being Remco, Roglic, or other forum pop star help.

Feel like both Evenepoel and Roglic are much more divisive than they're widely liked on this forum though. Both would have garnered more votes than Vingegaard (seriously, is there a single person outside of Denmark who's a fan of his?) but definitely not necessarily beaten Pogacar in this poll.

We wouldn't know for sure since they're not in the race. But, as divisive as they are, I still feel Pog is still behind the two in term of army size. Or maybe it's more intensity than size, I've never really done the counting😁
