Bradley Wiggins favorite to win D´Tour!

With today´s parcours, & the dismal Shleck Bros. performance so far this year,... Conty sitting out,... and BMC lack of depth to support Cadel with the Phillipe and Thor fiasco this year.....And Garmin and Liquigas wasted energies on the GIRO....If SKY can work out the Manx´Man needs for a train to green.....I think Bradley is fit to win it all...........:)

I thought a thread with a poll titled "Who will the the tour this year", with Wiggans leading the poll right now was enough. Apparently not.

Wonder if I should start "Menchov favourite to win D'Tour" thread, some people would definitely go beserk

Or better yet "Andy Schleck is favourite to win D'Tour"

Cav WILL NOT finish the Tour for 100th time. Why would he do all Giro to the end ? Becasue he won't do Tour to the end.

You know, I could say the exact opposite "Why would he do Giro till the end, cause he wants to finish both Giro and Tour this year" and it would probably hold just as much value as your statement, since we just don't really know what his plans are.

Okay, we'll see if he will. Anyone willing a avatar bet for this ? :p

I'm usually always in for avatar bets, but there's no way I'm doing one on Cav. Some better one will definitely roll along at some point before the tour.

Bradley today demonstrated his form is there & is ready to battle for yellow in Paris-nothing less is acceptable, BUT...

His impressive TT needs to be put on the test "during a 3-week" race -& yes-he did prove to be good during the last year's Vuelta, but then Froome ended up higher in the GC than him so......

But nonetheless he's ready and most importantly-concentrated & ready to go it. we shall see...

Actually Froome arrived to the Vuelta in form, but Wiggins crashed out badly on the Tour, and arrived with a far from perfect preparation.

This is an argument which has two sides to it.

Yes, Wiggins had crashed out of the tour so he had worse preparations.

But Wiggins himself said just before the Vuelta that he was feeling great.
