Who will win La Vuelta 2012?

[cineteq]

I know there are some dark horses like Mollema, Uran, Henao, Quintana, Gadret, etc, but my apologies in advance for not listing your favorite rider, but there are only 9 spots + other.

 

[Panda Claws]

Alberto Contador, as Froome will be completely lost without a leader to betray from the shadows.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Contador by a mile.

He could always pretend Uran Uran is leader.

[airstream]

Juanjo Cobo will own all these guys

 

[Cycle Fiesta]

I can't see anything other than Contador - probably by over five minutes.

 

[gustienordic]

Unless there are big crashes, there really are only two people who could legitimately win imho.

Thats my opinion about Vuelta

Robert Gesink

Gesink equal to Froome? Imo he's got a lot to prove in GT's after two years of bad luck. I don't even think he can make the top 10.

He'll still suffer from the effects on his leg, we'll have to see if he'll get at least his 2010 level.

Btw Contador will win this easily, still I hope Rodriguez can keep up with him in the hilltop finishes.

I head Froome had just done a 3 week TDF where had came 2nd. Maybe i jave some false information.

 

[DominicDecoco]

I think Froome will dominate the first 1½-2 weeks until he either feels a bit more fatigue from the Tour or Alberto gets into a race rythm that simply edges it. Don't think it'll be so one-sided as many on here thinks. Lots of great cyclists have checked in for this race as well.

Can't wait. . Should be a cracker - although a couple of the stages could have been created differently and not just with 10 minutes of matter in the end.

Aye aye captain if not he might ride badly and end up 3rd.

 

[cineteq]

This is not a Contador thread, LOL.

Seriously, I can't believe the lack of common sense I'm observing here. A guy who hasn't been competing for that long is now the overwhelming favorite to win??? A quick reminder, what happened in his latest GT before he was sent to the basement?

As for Froome, sorry I can only talk about him in the pharma forum. He doesn't count.

 

[jens_attacks]

nibali will win,yes you are right

Everyone knows that you hate him, so you don't need to be angry. If it hurts your feelings, that he has got the most votes, than you should stop watch cycling, I think

yes he will, next year

I guess you haven't seen the giro '08 and the eneco tour.

This is Contador we're talking about. And bringing up tour '11 is ridiculous, heck i'm sure that he would win the vuelta with that form.

Last comment is just...

And if you don't want to make it a Contador-thread then don't ask who is going to win the vuelta, tsss lol

 

[Miburo]

Senor Steak will win this thing

That **** is getting old, bring some new stuff...

 

[bicifan]

IMHO, Purito is the only one who can defeat Alberto.

What, the Eneco Tour??? LOL!!! Have you seen TdF 2011? That's your reference.

I don't hate anyone, nor I'm angry. I just like underdogs, like Rodriguez and Gesink. I suggest you stop taking things personally, it's not good for you.

Are you serious? Have you read your own post? It was not about you like underdogs. It was full of hatred. I think I'm done with you...
