I'd be really glad to see Andy choke again and it's possible he will but i just can't see past RS. Too many weapons.

The Tour isn't always great regardless of what the stakes are. I tend to believe what is shown on the road, in the races and by way of the quotes of those riders and managers that have worked with him and competed against him. His results are a testament to his deserved stature, the statements to his greatness by countless riders and managers (including Armstrong, Bruyneel, Riis, Kroon, etc...) are examples of the respect that he's garnered over time and will continue to receive. Regardless of this verdict he is still unquestionably the world's best stage racer. I look forward to his return to the sport.

My one consolation is that anticipating this decision, I put about 20 squid on Dennis Menchov at 66-1. Im no mathametician but I understand it would at least turn a profit.
Of course if I won I would gladly give up all that money in order to turn back the clock and have The Great One back, but life is life.

Don't see any reason why Lance can't get in shape for July. He probably fancies his chances now.
The Hitch said:
What the heck? He is 8-1 at best now and not even Alberto moves the odds like that.
Wiggins is 9-2 btw.

He was trading at 14/1 at the start of the year but he's now top priced at 9/2.
I was going to back him last week at 8's...but didn't!

Meh... probably post CAS announcement apathy but almost don't care about the Tour any more. I'm now torn between wanting Cadel to repeat, and playing the nationalist card and supporting Wiggins. Annoyingly, where I work has an internet filter on betting sights - what odds is Menchov? Still at 66-1? Great as it would be for Wiggins to win (for cycling's profile in Britain), I can't believe he is now the joint favourite

I don't like the route and I was not excited about TDF 2012. In 2011 I took free days in work to watch crucial stages. This year I'll watch last hour of mountain stages at most.LaFlorecita said:

I'm mostly sad about the fact I actually planned my vacation to fit into the July schedule. And I probably won't have time to watch the races in August, September and October.

ok now that we know contador won't ride i will give my opinion.
lo squalo will take it mark my words
as an attempt to a valid argument why he will take it: i believe he really improved his itting and that his climbing progressed a bit more like it has been doing for the last few years, since the route isn't insanely hard he won't have as much problems with his recovery like he had in the giro and with a couple of downhill finishes he may gain/limit his time pretty well.

Come on tell me, why is Alberto different than Ricco? I was a huge fan of Ricco, but he is a cheater, so he got what he deserved, same goes for Contador.
