3. Pinot

4. Porte

I've now had time to study the route.

My feeling there's a technical element to the course. More so than other years. I also feel weather will play a big part.

I don't think this will be a predictable Tour.

My feeling is strategy will play a big part hence my selections.

I'm most impressed with Pinot. I think he can win the Tour one day.

His cycling brain is very good.

TVG is a matter of time. He's a better climber than he thinks he is.

Thoughts?

Cant help but notice you omitted the big favourite.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Mate, nice game

Contador wont podium (Unlikely to happen obviously)
I have high hopes for Rolland, he will probably win Alpe stage (Or I hope)

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Don't encourage him.

Hopefully a mod will come along and point out that starting personal threads on topics which are already well covered is unnecessary, and rather silly, even for him.

I've got a sneaky feeling for Pinot, might put a little bet on top five.

You can take a man out of the Clinic, but you can't take the Clinic out of the man.

Nah, Froome almost managed to crash on a 15% ascent in the Tirreno, all it takes is riding behind either Robert Gesink or a carrot in a rainy, technical descent.

I'd love to see Echoes in this thread
Edit: Gaudin is riding the tour, so he will win obviously

Pretty much this. I'm going to close it. If any of the other mods disagree it will be re-opened.
