Tdf prediction thread

[auscyclefan94]

We are 11 days out from the tour so I thought that I would start a prediction thread. I apologise if there is something like this but I though we needed a new more complete one.

Anyway, pick the;

- TOP TEN in the GC
- Points Jersey
- KOM
- White Jersey
- Team Classification

Guess away!

Andy Shleck
Kreuzinger
Wiggins
Evans
Sanchez
Rogers
Vandevelde

Green: Eddy Boassen Hagen
White: From my list i guess it has to be Gesink

[Cerberus]

Top Ten:

1st Andy Schleck
...
6 Kreuzinger
...
White Jersey
Roman Kreuziger

Andy Schleck is young enough to qualify for white so Kreuziger can only get white by beating Andy.

polka dot - casar

 

[Liquigas]

Ah, white jersey can be won by riders younger than 26, and Andy is 25, so I have to change my prediction.

Followed by: Vandevelde, Kreuziger, Gesink, Rogers, Rodriguez, Sastre, Leipheimer, Vinokourov.

I've done these top10s several times this past year, they've changed a bit as well (previously had Valverde on the podium and Sanchez higher, no Basso).

What a GC field we have assembled though, if the Tour is to be exciting these folks need to do something and not just hang around waiting to get shat on by Saxo/Astana/RadioShack and eventually Contador.
