Netserk said:Frank's last win: June '11
Andy's last win: July '11
I think we all know the 'winners' here
wins on paper or actual 1st over the line wins?

Its between Schlecks, Costa and Contador for me.
Most of the others will get a TT or sprinting type win sooner or later, leaving Gilbert who rides on a team which is flying this year.

Really? Costa?
His primary strength is his killer instinct. I'm certain it won't take long for him to get his first win in the stripes.
Contador depends entirely on whether he will show up in 2013 form or not. If he's as bad as last year, I doubt he'll will get any wins this year.

yea, but he will be much more watched this year. And hes not "best" at anything at this point. Difficult to win imo. I have already discounted Contador somewhat.

Almost everyone's going to vote for the Schlecks here, and that's going to skew the poll. Plus they haven't made it back yet to the "star" level that guys like Froome, Sagan, Cance are at. Shouldn't have been included in the poll IMO.
Without them votes would be more evenly spaced out and more about predicting who would be the last star without a win. Also could lead to more discussion.

I highly doubt AC can repeat his success of winning a stage in San Luis...
but I voted Gilbert because he was all in for MSR this year and now thats ruined. AC will probably win a minor event eventually and netserk assures me it doesnt matter if they get disqualified after the fact so Im fairly confident in my assessment.

Good point. Normally I would say he would bag a win early, but I think hes on a higher peak model this year with a slow start. Lets see.

Reading the finale of a race? The only current riders I can think of who come close are LL Sanchez, Gerrans and Dan Martin.
Sure, Costa's not the best climber or sprinter but he's still decent at both and he's colder than the south pole in the middle of July. No mercy.

Possible, but its the "more watched" element which can make tactics much harder. We shall see.

Where's Valverde?
Valverde hasn't won any race since last year (February). Surely he also needed to be on the poll… (right?)

what is the lower bar for someone to/not to be a star anymore? Cause I think Kash might be the last star to win a race this year
