Can't upload the profile for some reason.

Anyway the only question that remains is "can Contador also dance on the muur?"

He probably could, but shouldn´t, it´s way to risky, small roads, it´s gonna be a battle he don´t need to do. His battleground is the Vuelta.

He won't be able to resist, this is Contador. If he can win he'll try, even if there's a vuelta next week.

Would love to see Alberto have a pop at this stage even if it's just to get the spectators buzzing

What was a joke in June, Contador challenging the win of Eneco in the muur, now is a serious bet

From what I know Tuft can't cope with the Muur, so Boom and Chavanel are the favourites.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Lol why does anybody think Contador could take 45 seconds on Boom and 33 seconds on Chavanel, on a RVVesque stage?

 

[will10]

Contador will be nowhere by the time they get to the last time up the Muur.

Chavanel.

What are Boom's credentials on a RVVesque stage?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

What are Boom's credentials on a RVVesque stage?

He got 5th in E3 once right? Does that count as RVVesque?

Well there's still Chavanel, Terpstra and Langeveld above Conty, who all definitely have RVV credentials.

You guys don't love the fairy tales

At least Boom probably knows the hills are cobbled.

Last time he though they were muddy.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Last time he though they were muddy.

He got a look from close by at Omloop though, so I'm sure he learned his lesson.

I don't know, how's Conti on the cobbles? I'd sure like to see him try. Contador, winner of the Eneco Tour, has a hilarious ring to it.

Well if we had that kinda finish he might end up top 3 in GC and for sure win the stage.

But cobble stones of the muur make it way different, especially cause I don't think Contador will be able to dance on his peddles like he usually does.

We'll see.

 

[jens_attacks]

omega to get a revenge on greenedge tomorrow

boonen to win the sprint ahead of alberto and chavanel

 

[Peccio89]

Boonen making the selection with Chavanel at his wheel, and the frenchman to take the overall.
I don't think Contador will be there, on the muur more powerfull riders should have an advantage on him; maybe he can try something for the fans on a non-cobbled climb but he won't have a serious chance for the stage.

 

[greenedge]

Langveld to win the stage after OPQS set up Chavanel for the overall. Boom to just come 2nd and Tuft to lose the lead of course.

 

[Wigwan]

From what I know Tuft can't cope with the Muur, so Boom and Chavanel are the favourites.

Tuft did fairly well in Quebec City last year and the climbs are similar to the Muur in lenght and gradiant. I think that if he gives all he has, he can be around 10-20 seconds behind Boom and Chavanel at the top.

But he'll need to be in a great day.

Sometimes Alberto can't help himself. I don't think he needs to be there at all with the Vuelta coming up but you never know.

Agreed, old Sven is a tractor, but I don't think he'll appreciate the hilly bits too much, I'd go Chavanel myself ..

 

[rghysens]

Boom for overall, Terpstra the stage win.

He can never help himself, that's just the kinda guy he is and that's why I like him so much.

I'm still wondering if he can stay on his peddles while climbing the muur lol

 

[trevim]

I can't see Contador end a stage race with an attack,but I can't see where he'll attack either.
