Who do you Least want to win the Tour

[Havetts]

Maybe...If he's there...

Thats the sole reason he shouldnt win this tour..

 

[Maxiton]

I was going to vote Schleck, dammit, until I saw the "Anyone from Radoshack" option. I swear to God, if I have to watch 39 year old Horner (or Bottle, for that matter) flying up the climbs at the head of the race like a southern Chicken, I think I'll puke. Or more likely just turn off the race. Though frankly I don't think it's really a possibility. So even though I chose the Radioshack option, I'll still say Schleck.

 

[ManInFull]

Andy Schleck because of all of the self-righteous Armstrong fans who jumped on the Schleck bandwagon after AC didn't pucker up and kiss Lance's ring.

 

[BYOP88]

Andy "I race like 4 weeks a year" Schleck. Can't stand the moaning little b@@@h and if he did win his ego would block out the sun.

then we will ride in the shade

 

[the_kman]

Schleck and contador ride like such girls. They are making the peleton soft.

here's hoping Vino will sort them out!!

but I dont mind who wins so long as it isnt a schleck/contador win.
For me vino then cadel then any underdog that rears its head into the top 10 mid-late tour.

 

[jobiwan]

I really want to root for Andy, he just makes it so hard sometimes!!

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

I would be pretty mad if Bert Grabsch were to win. If he could win the Tour, then you would think that 140-pound me would at least be a climber.

Totally inaccurate. Last year we saw 2 MTFs in the biggest race of the year on two of the sport's most hallowed passes.

One was a little parade of bromance on the Tourmalet.

The other was a tooth and nail battle on the Stelvio.

The girls would have attacked each other, not rode arm in arm like Contador and Schleck.

I understand the Vino love here, but Contador has been very aggressive at some GTs. A lot more than Vinokourov.

I'll go as far as to say Vino is a little girl compared to Contador. There, I said it.
I know the Tour 2010 was a bit boring, but Contador was holding on for his dear life in some stages, he couldn't do any better.

 

[VeloCity]

I don't really care who wins so long as it's an interesting and exciting race.

Having said that, if it were any combination of a Vino-Kloden-Basso-Horner podium I may have to quit the sport.

why is basso on that list? i can see why you have the other 3 but basso is a proven GT rider that dominated last year's giro and isn't that old. actually he is 1 year younger then evans whom some people consider a candidate for the win

Puerto'd

For me its Schleck. He's boring.

 

[Angliru]

Although i don't like him either, not many riders would come out of the chaingate situation with a smile on thier face and a shrug of the shoulders.

Well considering he was pretty much saved from his second grand tour mishap in 2-3 years by Cancellara's neutralizing of an earlier stage under the false premise of saving the race for all those that had crashed earlier (including Andy)and risked losing important minutes only to later muck up his attack by tossing his chain and again expect all to cease and desist with aggressions (that he initiated) so that he could get his sheet together, makes him for me a very, very hard person to root for and easy to root for everyone else but him to win, Mr. Anger-in-my-belly.

are we still pretending basso and the other puerto guys were the only ones doping?


this is the road section tho, clinic reasons should be left on the clinic. i would like to see a not road related reason

andy shleck is a great rider.

since andy's 21th birthday, all of us think that if logic prevails, he will win the tour at least 1 or 2 times. he also thinks the same and that is his problem. he is going to be 26 this year (if i am not mistaken) with 0 stage races under is belt. well, i really think that he is the second best stage racer in the peloton, so how can we explain that?

he's arrogant, he's a "diva". cyclists are supposed to be hard men (look at contador), so how can we root for him? he is in the right path to be pozzato number 2.

 

[Angliru]

That is one way of looking at it.
For example, I wouldn't let an accused pedophile babysit my children.

Maybe not a great example, but my point is, a cycling race is some what different. The argument that AC shouldn't be racing is fair, it is annoying that it takes this long.

Where is all the outrage over Frank Schleck having paid thousands of euro's to an infamously disreputable doctor but being cleared by his nation's cycling federation.? My bad, that was for a training program, nothing more.

 

[Angliru]

do you want to know what would be awesome if contador isn't there? frank backstabbing andy that would be really good.

Grand payback for the Vuelta no-show-of-support-for-big-brother display that Andy put on before Bjarne invaded his and Stuie's late night bar hopping and consequent ejection from the race.

 

[Angliru]

Can't happen. They share the same brain. You wouldn't stab yourself, would you?

Andy's must have been flooded in some Spanish beer to have abandoned his domestique duties to his brother to hang with O'Grady that fateful morning.

 

[Angliru]

Andy Schleck because of all of the self-righteous Armstrong fans who jumped on the Schleck bandwagon after AC didn't pucker up and kiss Lance's ring.

Quite eloquent in it's bluntness. I love it!

You're the one that asked.

RFEC is the only corrupt federation.

You must have missed that meeting.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Vinokourov belongs in a Dostoevsky novel taking a mallet to some old grannies head. He's a criminal in any lifetime.

Yep, too much time spent actually riding my bike.

I don't think anyone from the Shack has much chance. I wouldn't mind seeing Horner podium just because he seems like a decent guy, but it's a long shot.

That said, Armstrong is retired. Get over your idiotic hate of everything he's ever touched. After seeing this thread, I'd like to see one of the Shack pull off a podium placing just to tick people off. If Horner somehow wins it, there will be no end to the whining. That just might be worth it.
