Contador.

Not particularly personal, but if he wins and loses his appeal at CAS, it would do untold harm to the sport. Again.

Oh yeah, and also the Radioshack thing. Just because.

Not that they somehow wouldn't deserve it, but I'm not super interested in watching either Schleck or Basso win the Tour. Just a matter of taste.

honestly the only scenario that bothers me is if a middle age man from RS wins this one. it just does. . . . . other then that, may the best man win

Andy Schleck. He's an obnoxious and disrespectful enough person as is. He doesn't need a further ego boost. Why can't his nice guy brother win instead?

Are we talking solely the Tour GC?

Because I really, really, really want HTC to come away from the Tour completely empty-handed and disappear from the sport forever so the riders can go and do something halfway interesting.

Contador, because he is too strong and bad for the tension in the race. That's nothing personal.

I always am. The people that organise races don't make them hard enough to get rid of the boredom train.

I'd rather see a Radioshack 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 than yet another stage where the break get three minutes down the road, then HTC just sit there for 150km simply because they hate entertainment.

They are everything that is wrong with the sport. All calculated win percentages, no heart or soul.

You can't blame HTC for that though, but should lay the blame to Mooie Mario and his team.

I dislike sprints. I don't hate them.

I hate seeing potentially interesting races reduced to them. I hate when the control over the race is so total that they don't even give the breakaway a chance to even contemplate making it. I hate when the control over the race is so total it's futile even attempting to attack.

Yes, the template can be found with Super Mario and his band of merry automatons, but at least they had some character.

The races are much more entertaining when HTC aren't there, or when they are there but their sprinters are struggling for form.

I said contador simply because I am hoping we don't have another bore fest. I just hope he doesn't win as dominant as he did the giro. He was amazing at the giro, but it sure made an exciting race boring.

Who are these people who would be opposed to have Horner win? What would be so evil about that?

American, Radioshack, Bruyneel and Armstrong.

Contador because if he wins this after dominating the Giro all the other GC riders may as well not turn up to any future GTs which Contador has entered. Media and public attention for Contador will also inevitably focus on his upcoming CAS hearing.

Would not like Conto to win, it would harm the sport yet again that the man tested positive a year ago and can still ride races is nothing short of a disgrace

This is easy Schleck...What with Chaingate,Cobbled stage of TDF,he just seems to whine to much for my liking....He will find a way to stuff up another tdf"
