Saxo might use Kreuziger for GC if something goes wrong. I think they should try that. Top ten is possible for him any time, but if he's gregario I don!t know...Miburo said:And Kreuziger? well i would make sure he doesn't lose too much time in the first week, might be helpful. Although that prob won't really work since we all know it's 100% AC but it can never harm.
Kreuziger is the kinda guy unlike rogers that you can really use for a crazy attack. This guy has it in him, not per se for him to go solo but like a set-up but the thing not really many tour stages that fit for it
Early attack on the alpe and then AC comes to him in the sarrene climb of 3km and decent like a madman

Your usual blabber, and trust me, it won´t make you look smarter either, I think we can agree on you know as little as I do, or as much if you like, and if you read my other post I also said it don´t have to mean ****, but stranger things have happen, but obviously not in your universe.

He will be protected until the real action begins, then we will see what they gonna do, much depends on the situation at that point, it wouldnt surprise me if Riis would play out the Kreuziger card if the situation is right.

Anyway saxo their team will be real insane.
AC, Rogers, Kreuziger, CAS, Roche, Hernandez, Paulinho (i'm pretty sure these guys will ride it). That's a pretty good climbing team if in shape
I wouldn't underestimate Paulinho, if he's 100% he can be really useful. Hernandeze too but he can have a sucky day sometimes but that's ok with a pretty consistent roche and rogers. And Kreuziger? well i would make sure he doesn't lose too much time in the first week, might be helpful. Although that prob won't really work since we all know it's 100% AC but it can never harm.

Contador needs to be miraculous, as in 09, to beat Froome who is riding a divinely graced year so far. At least that much is clear.

i was very sad, because i met marco in Cuba and it seemed like we all shared part of the guilt of what happened. Because, you see, when marco won everyone was close to him and he died alone... we are all guilty. you, me, she.
When was the last time you heard him? How was he?
i haven't heard of him for a very long time, but we said we meet in Italy. Unfortunately, he's gone, but Pantani needed people that weren't there yesterday .....this is something bad for us, for all of us, because when Pantani was winning, everyone was close to him and yesterday he died alone, that is why we are all guilty for this.

A 7 GT-winner, who won the vuelta LAST YEAR, who had a pretty poor season untill now has been written off winning the tour at which contador himself said that he'll be at the same shape as in the previous tours.
Do we give the man zero credit or what? Just ridiculous.
But hey Van Garderen might win the tour, right? Oh yea...

Miburo said:Pretty much. He said he won't be worse than he was in the previous tours, but those are only words, we'll have to wait for ax3.
Try and ride next week with him and post that he'll win the tour. It worked with nibali
Ahh, that's gonna be a tough one...
I find it really hard to believe that froome will hold his form through the whole tour ie, peaking for four months (march to the end of july). that just humanly isn't possible even for professional cyclists, by the end of the 2012 tour wiggo was beginning to lose form. given that he should come into ax3 peaking, by ventoux he should have lost form. Contador has proven that when he is peaking he could beat froome, but whenever contador has raced frooome he's been well below that historical best. whether contador can actually reach that maximum is uncertain, but if he does, then froome won't be able to match him on the climbs (same thing with schleck vs froome)

The same for Evans, Purito and Valverde a lot of years, even riding two big Tours...if you are really good, you are allways up in the races... For Nibali is similar.
And the same for Contador, he even started before... or, what I have to think Contador now is in a worse shape than Froome?
Froome didnt get 100 % shape yet, he is doing small peaks at 80-90 %, small rest-small peak.. like that.
Evans won Tirreno, 7 in Cataluña, won Romandía, second in Dauphiné and won the Tour...
it is not so different, and he said: I ll take it easy before the Tour...
And after that he did 7 in Colorado
Why not Froome, Froome is as good as Evans but younger, so now is better.
in terms of his climbing more, with his tt'ing he remained nearly the same. on stage 17 he struggled more and was going slower than in previous summit finishes; hence why I am saying he likely lost form. apart from that with sky wiggins only had to podium in the tt's and just keep up in the four mountain stages
