What are your BOLD predictions in Tour de France?

[RedheadDane]

This thread is the proof that there's a fine line between bold predictions and totally crazy predictions.

 

[HelloDolly]

None of the top 4 reach the final week
Betencur wins the Tour after an even more dare devil descent of col de Allos.....goes down with one eye shut
Peraud&Pinot finish 2nd & 3rd
Tyler Farrar wins every sprint stage
Tommy V rides in the peloton the whole race , never at the back or in a break
Hamiar Zubeldia goes in every break and gurns for the camera everyday
Basso wears the yellow jersey the whole of the 2nd week and refuses to ride for Alberto Contador
Oleg Tinkov never criticizes any his team members...
Valverde does not lose time in crosswinds
Sep Van Marke wins the cobbles stage
Richie Porte moves into the SKY portacabin on 1st rest day

The bold is probably the only thing not bold!

 

[De Snelle Duif]

De Gendt will win the Mountains jersey after being in the break for at least 6 days.

 

[Escarabajo]

Re:

Peraud will lead a small group of GC contenders including Bardet, Froome, Nibali and Quintana on three consecutive MTF with Contador loosing3 minutes on each.

Antoine Vayer does some VAM figures and estimates 4 w/kg

Someone sets up a poll to say who will win the TDF, despite being 9 minutes down Contador wins the poll

LOL. I like this prediction. It might not be bold anyway!

 

[Singer01]

race to still be alive going into penultimate stage with the top 3 being within a minute of each other. pinot has a proper change to win.

The bolded part made me LOL

 

[Guybrush]

Quintana to win this by +5 min margin

 

[Vroome.exe]

Vino comes out of retirement and enters Tour.
Froome knocks out half peloton looking at his stem and Vino wins the Tour.
Vino retires for the second time. Boss.

 

[ILovecycling]

Nibali,Quintana,Froome and Contador wil push themself beyond the limit and set a new record on Alpe while all collapsing after the finish line Mt Ventoux style.

 

[SeriousSam]

Up the Alpe, the British Pirate will lead the reduced peloton at the bottom of the climb. He will attack, and only 3 riders will be able to follow him. After a hairpin he will accelerate again, dropping Nibali. Ligget will be talking excitedly about the contrast of climbing styles at display.

He'll be amazed at Froome being seated, commenting how he really has a lot of power coming out of the bottom of his back. Froome will attack once again, shedding Contador in the polka dot Jersey. Froome will be said to be climbing with sheer power by the commentators.

Then the Dawg will attack one final time, and this time, not even the yellow jersey of Nairo Quintana will be able to respond, looking back over his shoulder in confusion, perhaps lookingfor the Telek... I mean Movistar car. Froome will go on to win the stage but not the Tour. His time up the Alpe will be 37' 33.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The old Schleck will suddenly be joined by the younger and both will occupy the lower podium levels.

But Pinot will take the biggest win of his career.

 

[Netserk]

Sagan will do a wheelie the whole way up Alpe d'Huez.

 

[Anderis]

If there are some surprising splits in the peloton, Hesjedal will be in the first group.

 

[freddybobs]

Cavendish to move into second place on the all time stage winners list
Poels to outclimb Nibali
GC to be so close that stage 21 is raced by the contenders

 

[ray j willings]

Uci build a ramp up to the top of the Eiffel tower for Hill top finish
. That would be awesome

 

[del1962]

Instead of contesting the sprint on the Chapms-Elysees Demare and Bouhanni get into a fist fight

 

[Jspear]

Re:

lol this is good! Bouhanni would definitely win.

Démare wins with a Barredo wheel throw.

 

[orangerider]

Basso wins the Tour by several minutes after Contador dislocates his shoulder again and a couple of the other favorites drop out. Forum is stacked with Robo Basso comments, with age-old threads resurrected. Forum crashes later that day.

 

[Archibald]

Fulgsang to be the Mikel Landa of the Tour, and get the okay to ahead and podium above Nibbles...
with Vino claiming that he learnt from his mistake at the Giro

I wish if was true

 

[the-big-bad-wolf]

Ok, here i go :
Contador it's going to win the Tour without a stage victory. He will thank the team for their help in every post stage interview, despite being alone on every mountain stage. On the finish line in Paris he will do the 4 fingers gesture. in an interview later that day he will declare that he will not do the vuelta. A week before de the start of the vuelta he will anounce on twitter that he will give it a go and Tinkov will say that it was entirely Alberto's decision.
