I'm excited.

I went for 5 because there was nothing higher

 

[hatcher]

Too early to tell, but definitely a few.

I didn't want this to turn in to one of those stupid threads where people make unrealistic predictions.

Love this post and I love this thread even more.

Talking about people getting ahead of themselves. He wins the Tour Mediterraneen and now he is going to go on to win LBL or FW. With all due respect the field in the Ardennes classics will be a lot lot stronger.

Oh dear




.

 

[roundabout]

He won't live up to the hype, so only 3 I am afraid.

 

[palmerq]

2.5 I think, depends on the weather really

Hook, line and sinker.

Yeah, if they end up cancelling Roche-au-Faucons and Saint-Nicolas and instead put in Col de Garde, he could win a few. Also if they move the race to february and give it a .1 status.

I'll go with '4' as my answer.

 

[trevim]

Since he's 28 (?) I would say about 10 or 11 if Endura is invited this year.

 

[issoisso]

Seventeen minus however many Kelderman rides.

 

[taiwan]

Pf, I just came here to take the plss, but the interview with Brian Smith linked in the OP is pretty inspiring.

Stick me down for 5 LBL, 2 Fleche and a Vuelta

 

[issoisso]

and a Vuelta

Please stop with the jokes. This is a serious forum.

He's only 27, so I reckon there's scope for 11 or 12. I think he'll only win 4 though, after a long Kolobnev-like streak of 2nd places.

Guys, I know its a joke thread, but if we could soften it up a bit maybe and have a few posters arguing that while Tiernan Locke isnt going to win 10 LBL's, its very possible that he will challenge Gilbert in upcoming Lbls and in this years worlds, El Pistolero will go bat ****

Who is this Gilbert fella you're referring to anyway?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

JTL win LBL? LOL.

 

[Ferminal]

Only 4, got underachiever written all over him.

Heard of "tongue-in-cheek"?

He can win Méditerranéen, Haut-Var, Paris - Camembert, and so on, but im afraid that he will never win a much bigger race than that.
