ASO Picks the Winners

never bet in cycling. never. only if you are friends with the riders and set up something together otherwise no.

look what happened today. this bonnette finish even if it will happen(which i doubt) i highly doubt will influence the results big time. alberto and vincenzo will survive to this

i think ASO picked Hesjedal to land on the podium or take at least a few stage wins.
pity the dude couldn't stay on his bike.

I seriously doubt Col de la Bonette will be a finish for the Tour next year. Logistically it is a mess for fans, the route, and the ASO.

I expect Pra-Loup to be the finish..... because of it's historic significance, not because the ASO wants a certain rider to win

What? How are the ASO supposed to help midpack riders? If you throw a mountain in there are still 10 people that will beat him on the mountain. You throw a tt in there are 20 people who will beat him in the tt?

How are they supposed to be favouring him?
