Predictions for 2010

[BikeCentric]

This is the thread to make any prediction on any pro road racing topic for the 2010.

I shall begin:

Daniele Bennati will have a Petachi-like run this year and emerge as one of the best sprinters in the world if he finally stays healthy.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Contador will win the Tour de France.

There, I said it.

/more seriously: Boonen will win the first 3 monuments. Valverde will not get a world wide ban. Ricco will still be awesome. Liquigas will destroy everyone in the Giro and take places 1 & 2. Somebody somewhere will actually care about the Tour of California. A New French GC Hope will arise in July. The Worlds will be a major upset with a second-tier winner. Tiago Machado will be Time's Man of the Year. Cancellara will win a TT somewhere.

*fill in your local hero* will have the best season ever and achieve world dominance.

I'll one up...Kenny van Hummel will win worlds...

That's a bold move!

LOL...It is no doubt!! But what the heck...

I'll one up...Kenny van Hummel will win worlds...

The first time I ever took notice of Van Hummel was at Verbier last summer, where he finished last, crossing the finish line 45 minutes after Contador. He looked totally devastated,
Of course the Worlds does not include mountains so...... well let's just say he will have a better shot at it.

I predict Contador will win Liege. I don't believe for one second that he's participating with out ambitions.

He finished dead last in all major mountain stages, basically riding hundreds of kms on his own. I think he should focus on time trialing, he seems to have the grit for it. Move over Cancellara, here's Kenny.

Yeah with out a doubt Cancellara will fear that day coming .

I'm sure you meant to say "This is the fourth thread...."

I for one prefer this thread, because it allows you to predict with out any restrictions.

Besides there's already a lot of specific prediction going on in the designated race threads. No need for more prediction threads.
If necessary, make this thread a sticky and let the rest drop off (only my opinion).
