Try to find out about the chances for Brajkovic to win a stage in first week of Tour de France, especially in those up hill finishes. Due to the fact I can't find anything about these qualities I'd like to ask you. Does anyone has specific information about this?

Brajkovic and his punch....
- Thread starter johngoat
- Start date
He's more of a diesel in my eyes. Strong time trialler who can climb quite well. A bit like Levi.
His only chance of winning a stage in the first week is the team time trial.
In the first week there are two lumpy uphill stages, but Brajkovic has no chance. Better off putting your money on the likes of Gilbert.

That Alpe d'Huez stage against Contador sort of proves the contrary. Not as much punch as Contador obviously, but he was quick to react every time.Ryo Hazuki said:

I know I overstate a little but the guy doesn't have the punch that 30 punchier guys in the tour will have and thus has no chance of winning a stage

Which GC cyclist do have a good punch uphill then?
In my opinion: Samuel Sanchez, Evans, Kloden, Cunego and offcourse A and F Schleck and Contador.
Anyone else?

brajkovic will be one big failure all over again, he's never done well in any gt and he's 28 now almost. he just doesn't recuperate and is also very unregular.

Yeah Klodi is more of a diesel.
The safe bet is Gilbert for stages 4 and 8, though you probably won't get much value there. Maybe Evans or Vino.

Evans
I disagree with the Evans, Evans is not as bad as Levi, but he cannot react as quickly as someone like Sanchez or Cunego. I see Cunego as similar to Scarponi however, who can put in a good punch, but will get dropped trying to stay with Contador.

Yeah, exactly... I'd be very surprised if this frail ****** doesn't get dropped early on in the first or second high mountain stage.
