Stage 4 Winner

 

[Queens Boulevard]

Degenkolb should have this. Depends on how restrained everyone else is having to work for their respective GC captains

You need to do what Bigmac said yesterday to the poll

I wish.

None of the above, cobbled stages in the Tour never go as planned.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Voted other. Just cause I don't want to jinks anyone in that list.

 

[the sceptic]

Froome to win the reduced sprint ahead of Kristoff

 

[DFA123]

Degenkolb or Kristoff for me. I don't think it's hard enough for anyone to drop them and they will both have their teams working hard for them.

Outsiders would be Sagan (if he doesn't have to babysit Contador) and Greipel. Just don't think it's hard enough for Stybar, Vanmarcke, Canc (if recovered).

 

[LaFlorecita]

Stybar or Paolini, I voted for Paolini

Nice choice Flo

Not sure he has his tough-bstrd beard on though ?

 

[Carols]

I voted for Stybar. Damned I'll miss Fabu tomorrow

I'am not so sure a favorite will win tomorrow..

Or that the cobbles being reported "easier" than last year is going to make a lesser spectacle...

In the cobbled classic's you have the specialists taking each other on..

Here you have a fresh peloton full of teams wanting to keep their GC guy up front...

They could easily "spoil" the favorites race, or make things complicated to the point that the winner is totally unpredictable..

My thoughts... with emphasis on thoughts

-Kristoff and Degenkobbles have already peaked this year..

-Sagan may have to sacrifice the stage to babysit AC..

-Stybar could easily complete an epic-failstep..

-Nibali and Boom not going to repeat last year, simply nlikely to do that trick two times in a row.. regardless of strenght...

-Vanmarcke seems a good bet, only things haven't worked for him this year..

-Thomas only winning if froome is second (or in small leading group), or out, and I doubt both.. (same as Sagan situation)

-Paolini is for me a dark horse.. Might be babysitting J-Rod...

-GVA is actually the one of the mentions in the poll I could see happen..
He might share same duties as Sagan/Paolini but I think Garderen could follow his wheel...

Gorilla FTW!!!!

I think the cobbles wont be that hard so I expect a reduced sprint between some cobbles classic specialists. I expect kristoff or degenkolb will win, sagan might be the strongest one but he will have to work a lot for AC.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

how is Boom not in this poll?

Re:

He was #10 - sorry Dekker

Yes and I heard GVA might be going home after tomorrow due to his pregnant wife I think ? So may give it absolutely everything.

Kristoff, he's been too quiet already this tour, time to pick up the pace,

Would like Thomas but he'll be on Froome duty.
