Who will come 2nd in the Tour?

[Ruby United]

With Froome on course to victory, who will come 2nd?

(Froome is an option for all those non believers.)

I personally feel Valverde will take this one.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Mollema, Valverde will finish 3rd.

 

[Ruby United]

Mollema, Valverde will finish 3rd.

But you live in the Netherlands.

 

[Afrank]

Sticking with my original prediction, Contador. And Valverde to crack somewhere leading to Quintana getting on the podium.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Valverde.

But it will be close.

 

[Sasquatch]

Costa to go up the road on a stage when Movistar deliver it tactically and gain time.

 

[LaFlorecita]

But you live in the Netherlands.

Yes

[Jux1893]

The way this is going, Froome will do 1st and 2nd.

 

[MrTea1976]

Maybe Dan Martin? Lost time today but might go for it and succeed.

Well, we can hope for another all in early attack from Garmin again (while keeping Martin dry). The team already have a stage win and clearly hanging around tenth spot is pretty useless.

 

[Spicco]

Before today, I would've said Nairito. I reckon he's a bit far back now though, so Valverde it is.

Mollema for 3rd, Nairo 4th and Contador 5th.

 

[burning]

I still believe in Quintana

 

[Christian]

I think Mollema has a good shot! Unless Contador goes berserk one day. Quintana is the second strongest IMO but unfortunately lost a lot of time and will spend a lot of energy for Valverde

 

[DenisMenchov]

Froome, I hope Mollema can still win ti.

 

[l.Harm]

I think Valverde will crack some day in the third week. I don't believe Contadors story about the third week, so I give Mollema the best chance now. But it could easily be otherwise.

Thriller! There's at least six guys who could end with the top prize...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador
Mollema will finish 3rd or 4th. I think he could pass Valverde, but I'm still worried about Quintana.. If Quintana attacks on the final mountain and gets away with Froome or something he could win a minute per mountain stage

 

[Jelantik]

contador second, valverde third. quintana 4th.
molema wil crack on the third week.

quintana will win white jersey even though it's not part of the pool. Kwiatkowski will crack.

The race would be so much more interesting without Froome. I kinda hope he loses 10 minutes on some flat stage to spice up the race for gc.

But then he'd just gain 20 on Ventoux

 

[cineteq]

Since I don't think Froome will win, I can't vote. What's with these OPs who don't use, or think of the whole 10 possibilities?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Nah, on Alpe stage maybe.

By the way ruby united I am not extremely optimistic about dutch cyclists because I am dutch, I don't even like many of the dutch cyclists. I am mainly a fan of spaniards and italians.

Of course you can still vote. There's an option that Froome will be 2nd

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I will say Contador.
