Parrulo said:cunego just isn't a top climber so he doesn't has the chance to show his sprinting that often. samu and purito are also pretty fast, so is scarponi. . . just a few names of the top of my head so i am pretty sure i am forgetting a lot of guys( 6 am and i just got home so i can't really think straight xD )
as incredible as this may sound on a uphill sprint a on top form menchov is mighty fast.

Swede1 said:I agree, Samu and Purito have some of the fastest finishes of the climbers (Sanchez faster on a flat finish, JRod faster on an uphill finish?).
Evans has a decent sprint, not too fast but he can sprint from a long way out and keep going and wear out the other riders. I think Menchov is kind of similar to Evans in this way.
Velits is proabaly the fastest of these riders, but he is also probably the worst climber out of them.

EBH is going too and will probably be Sky's leader. I can't see Gerrans winning if Gilbert is there.greenedge said:Simon Gerrans will be dominant for the GP Plouay. I think he can win it. He is in good form. Any idea of who else will be going.
LaFleur said:Since I couldn't find any better place to ask this question (maybe a chit-chat thread or something?): Is there any site that offers the Tour de France 2011 prize money list by riders? I know there are plenty offering the top money list by teams, but I would like to know how much riders got the prize money.
Mellow Velo said:I'd go as far as saying that an "in form" Menchov would burn an "in form" Evans in almost any type of sprint.
The problem is, Dennis is rarely "in form".![]()
