With pictures of Wiggins and Froome :(

I am getting tired of discussing how Berto will do, I will take the wait and see approach :p

Don´t worry, soon you will know, I promise you, no matter what anybody says, Algarve will be a big tell for the rest of the season, despite july is 5 months away. ;)

well same tune as last year. Don't expect too much then? *I was hoping it would be the opposite*

"It will be my first race and there will be riders who have much more race speed than I have. The goal is to accumulate racing kilometres and look forward to the next races, Tirreno-Adriatico, Volta a Catalunya and the Vuelta al Pais Vasco."

Froome already stated his intent to win in Oman on his first race

http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/chris-froome-ready-defend-tour-oman-title-114984

and he missed alberto
"I would have loved to see him here but it doesn't change much and I am not going to prepare anything differently because he (Contador) is not there," he said

Actually it's normally a good thing when he downplays his form. He did that prior to Giro11 and pretty sure before Tour 2010 as well, of I remember correctly

I hope this time he'll back it up with his form. Not just hype. Kwiat won the second stage. Still waiting to hear how his form is going *no stream sucks*

Yeah,I believe he can win Tour again but he has to prove it early season, after cataluna it should be clear.If his results will be bad then ,only who can stop Froome are cobbles and nibbles :)
