The last part of the climb:

So, we have the first in the season real mountain WT clash. Very likely, the result we will get will become the base of numerous predictions for the Tour mountains-like as least, because such a strong field may not gather together more. Though, I wouldn't expect too much. So I vote for Vincenzo as a guy who is defending his title.

 

[Forunculo]

Brailsford is at Tirreno, so Froome by a far margin (half minute over Purito and Contador)

From last year:

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

I'm cheering for Cobo, not saying he'll win though

 

[serfla]

This is what we've been waiting for a couple of months.
It's important for the riders as well. Nothing definite, but really significant.

besides alberto-froomey showdown, i expect something nice from papy horner
froome is the big favourite though

 

[Miburo]

I hope it rains, unless tv connection gets ****ed up cause of it.

I put my money on Contador. He gave me today a very good impression. And i'm a fan

This really feels like a mountain stage of a GT, exciting but hopefully not as disappointing as the MTF's of the GT's last year

 

[Afrank]

Can't decide between the favorites. Any of them I could see getting the win.
So I'll go with a breakaway of one guy taking it, Rabottini. I envision him going solo, the favorites catching him, and him beating them all in the sprint.

I expect Sky to have there full mountain train out tomorrow, and we'll get to see how it does against the top climbers.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Froome, Cobo and Contador will battle strongly, but J-Rod will take the win in the end easily.

 

[HiCadence]

I'm fanboying El Purito this season so ima choose him for this.

 

[Netserk]

Contador with less than 50%

I'd be surprised if that's the case, when I wake up tomorrow.

i'm surprised he's actually winning the poll

It's time to change your avatar to Froome's.

Not everyone you support will fail, didn't you say you went from cheering for Quintana, Costa and Gesink to 'backing' Porte?

It's gonna be tight between Froome, Rodriguez and Contador I think, although I hope Nibali can do something.

 

[wwabbit]

Contador with less than 50%

I'd be surprised if that's the case, when I wake up tomorrow.

I guess the good old days where Contador's rivals simply rolled over and played dead whenever he attacks are over

 

[Parrulo]

It's time to change your avatar to Froome's.

just because i think he will win it doesn't mean i like it. . .

p.s. just because you jumped the ship i created it doesn't mean i allow you to have a voice!!!!!!!

I'm not so sure it'll be tight I see Froome way out on his own. I hope this is not the case but can just imagine him destroying it.

 

[Red Rick]

It's not about who wins, it's about guessing the exact position in which Andy Schleck will finish tomorrow. My guess is 122nd at 17'52".

Having said that, Contador for the win

Wow just wow. What a joke of moderator you are. The only mod, in any forum I've been, who insults regular posters and mock first time posters.

PS: Feel free to delete edit/delete this post should it fits your needs.
