Foliforov, Sepulveda and Caja Rural who always sends a good team, but many teams aren't confirmed at all.

There won't be some big showdown... Just to see how Quintana's doing.
Also, some brave opportunist might take the overall if he's on a good day in the Pyrenees. I doubt Movistar and Quintana will bury themselves to win the race.

Re: Re:

It's down to how much of a Quintana fan you are. Probably not as passionate about your rider as I am. I'm at a stage where I don't care if the race's dull, only want Contador to win.

It's like hardcore football fans, they don't care if their team is boring and pulls the Catenaccio every match, as long as they win the Champion's league or world cup.

No, Im definitely not, but I'd like to think Im up there. I don't think many are as passioned as you, probably none at this forum at least.
I've just **** put a huge poster up on my wall from a tour magazine on my wall, written Sueño Amarillo at it and circled Arcalis, Ventoux and Emosson. Go go.

Pls post a picture in Nairo thread

Screw it, you can get it here.

... and a picture I took 1 week ago since it seems in to post riders in not too much clothes. How's my veins looking, am I too skinny or do I need to lift more? Only 2 weeks to go.

*** I thought I had a good body for climbing

Nice poster

 

[Valv.Piti]

Its a *** awesome poster, I wake up to it every morning!

Edit: And now I look like a fool for getting my post removed from the AC-thread to the Quintana-thread. The picture is pretty out of context now....

Nairo stretched his legs nicely today,looks in shape too (see RdS thread),I hope he can give us at peast one show this week

 

[Valv.Piti]

If this little man doesnt crash, he will have this Tour completely wrapped up. Scary, scary performance.

All aboard!!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Thank god I played 2K DKK (300 Euros) at 2,85 yesterday.

 

[portugal11]

Great performance but there is no competition in route du sud. But for me, he is n.o favourite for le tour

 

[Red Rick]

I haven't really looked at the TT field, but given his most recent tt's, he had no business not making top 5. A win is better then expected though, seems like he's prepared well

How old are you? You don't seem too old in your photo, are you sure it is a good idea to spend this much money on betting?

 

[LaFlorecita]

I expected him to win, nothing too surprising. The field is crap but a nice performance anyway.

Too bad for you, as I think he has less than 35% chance to win the race.

Im 21. You don't 'spend' money, you win them. As long as your play responsible and is good at finding value, you are good to go.

Isn't there a betting thread? Every rider thread doesn't require knowing who bet, how much etc.

Re:

Firstly,that thread is pretty inactive and I think that few posts dont bother anybody that much Carols.Secondly,we should not bound ourselves by the rules so much imo (CN is restricted to much imho)


@Flo you really expected him to win today?

I did not.

Which is a shame. Maybe/hooefully it could be restored a bit, during the Tour or so. I'm in

I've had a betting thread for 2 months over on another site, dno if I will be posting both places, but it could definitely be fun. Anyways, enough of this nonsense here.

Looking super much forward to tomorrow. Movistar has a very good squad, so heres how it will go down: control Tourmlalet, the penultimate climb and set Nairo up for an attack on the last climb in the bottom 5 kilometres to go. Hopefully with his brotha.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Stage 4. Col de Couraduque (6.35 km, 7.97 %, 506 m)

Hard enough of a climb to put in a significant attack, especially after Tourmalet.

 

[sir fly]

Really impressive showing from Quintana. Nothing out of this world, surely, but considering his improvement, comparing with the previous years and looking at his motivation - he's no lesser favourite for the Tour than Froome and Contador. I'd dare to say he'll be the man to beat next month.

We'll see what kind of test he'll do tomorrow. Yesterday it was the breakaway, today the tt and only a long uphill effort is missing to complete the test battery.
