sounds about right if you ask me

I think there might be more Danes in the team, and of course Paulinho and Sorensen are in le Tour so they won't be really fresh.

 

[PhiberAwptik]

What's Contador going to use for a team to help him?

What does it matte? No one in the Peleton can match Alberto Contador's accelerations when he is fresh and in form.

All Bjarne needs to is put some hard pedaling Danes in the keep Contador safe in the flats and set a hard tempo to the bottom of the climb. After that who is going to threaten Contador?

I'm done picking Anton every year. Rodriguez is overdue a GT win. And how can you justify not having the reining champ in there? I think he'll top 5.

For the last time, I FORGOT ABOUT HIM.

Haha sorry. Didn't want to read through a ten page thread. Is Froome even confirmed for the Vuelta? Hasn't he put too much into the Tour?

 

[SafeBet]

Froomey will stare at Contador and then drop him like a stone.

Yeah... No.

Where is Cobo?

 

[The Blues]

Nicki Sørensen will participate. Bjarne Riis has said, he will be important for Alberto Contador in the Vuelta. Actually he is peaking there instead of at the Tour. He claims it is the reason, he hasn't had the best of legs yet (especially in the mountains), although it is getting better.

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

Lol, probably some new July fan sky fanboys are looking at this poll and thinking "Who the hell is this Alberto Contador Velasco, why does he have so many votes?!"

Hahahahahaha

Ok that is good news, he will be important for keeping Alberto safe.

Wanna take an avatar bet on that one?

 

[jilbiker]

Is this a Sardonic thread or someone's idea of a flat joke?

 

[SafeBet]

Yeah... No.

You got your countdown back





Froomey.

 

[Angliru]

They won't be on here once la vuelta starts!

They definitely will if Froome is riding the Vuelta.

 

[Angliru]

Señor Steak will win.

Hopefully the Condor will avoid his intimate encounters with the pavement to make his contribution to making the gc battle intriguing. Fingers crossed.

 

[Angliru]

I can't believe I am saying this but....VAMOS ALBERTO!

There you go! All that hidden love for Alberto you were holding inside...it must feel good to finally let it out.

 

[LaFlorecita]

You got your countdown back

Yes, the moment is near.

 

[Angliru]

I voted for Igor Anton, because I like him a lot, but realistically, of course it's going to be Alberto.
I hope Anton will get a podium in the end, though. I think that's possible.

He's another rider that I would like to see stay upright, especially him because if he recreates the form he had in 2010, things would be so exciting in the mountains with Anton, Contador, Cobo, Quintana, Henao and an upright, crash-free Gesink.e

Edit: I forgot Purito!
