No faith in Geniez?

Or Dumoulin

Argos. Lol, they will fail hard in the mountains again.

That's an improvement over failing all the time don't you think?

Hint hint wink wink you know what team I'm talking about. Obvious wild card, selected so the media can create a big duel between Cavendish and Kittel to boost interest in the flat stages of the Tour. How many stages are flat again? About 18 of them right?

No one cares what they'll do in the mountains.

Not really. Maybe 4 totally flat that will suit both. That's it. Stage 21 Cav will be away as well

Well yes as I don't care about 2 fourth places for Kittel.

 

[roundabout]

Cofidis, mmm. Was to be expected but with Taaramäe's fitness issues and Moncoutie's newly found love for Spain they are likely to be a bit invisible in the mountains.

They'll still outclimb Greenedge.

Mantova investigation hearing fixed on July 13th. Does that mean that Cunego and Ballan can't do Le Tour?

 

[will10]

Think they are still free to race

What.

he didnt even get a kiss.

Didnt want to let go of her hand though.

 

[El Pistolero]

Few people care about your opinion.

Argos will be really happy to get media attention in July even if they only get second places behind Cav. Although you're wrong about that, Kittel will win a couple of stages.

 

[greenedge]

The sprinting competition will be fierce.

3 factors in my view will make it exciting.
1. Cav might not be able to rely on Sky the whole time.
2. I would love to see others therefore challenge Cav/ compete on their own without Cav.
3. It will give a good indicator towards the Olympic RR.

 

[dlwssonic]

well it kinda sucks, there is another team chasing after breaks and trying to make everything into a sprint.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Isn't it blasphemy to think about Dauphine BEFORE the Giro?
