Andy with flying colors. The route is irrelevant. They'd better not start to avoid of tortures, as I told you earlier.

Yeah, no one should start :rolleyes:

Hey, I thought Frankie was going to dominate the Tour?

Contador all the way. He will have 7 GC wins under his belt to Wiggins 1. He is also a couple of years younger.

I just can't see wiggins being able to respond to an AC attack(s) in the mountains.

On a separate note, what a fine example wiggins the family man set yesterday

Don't cook up what I didn't say. Andy will win and you have 2 options - to suffer from it and to try to treat it philosophically as far as it's possible. :)

a man who wants downhills to be nullified, can't TT, and has no dedication!

Are you kidding? The man is capable of anything! :) Hopefully he alongside with Kim will work on mistakes that helps to hit the Tour without redundant pressure as it was in 2011.

the only way he'll win is if there are no TTs, all mountain top finishes and frank is allowed to be on the podium too:D

All Albert has to do is launch medium mountain attacks, with fellow Spaniard explosive guys like Purito taking chase and eventually leading him to the finish line.

I don't think there's a facepalm picture on the internet that would be strong enough for this thread, not even that quadruple facepalm one

Well I think there are things that are way more fun and way less ridiculous.
What sort of reaction you would have expected, if I went on a running/athletics forum, posting a thread

"Who will win in a race - Usain Bolt or Geoffrey Mutai"

You gotta factor in what time of the month it is as well. :D Anyways, each to their own.

A poll only shows how many people want to troll the current TdF leader. Better to have a discussion about it.

OK, if you want discussion, could you please post the TDF2013 route here so we can have some substance to base this discussion on?
Otherwise it's not discussion but pointless blabber, and I see this thread for what it is - for which "****ing nonsense" is the nicest way of putting it

Next year I think the Tour will stay mostly in the mountains, being the 100th Tour. And when Contador attacks, Sky won't be able to contain him.

I'd love to see Contador and Andy collaborate and attack together in the mountains. Wiggo will be smashed into pieces.

Have you seen how Wiggins and his team climb these days? People are out of date.

Nibali is staying with him, the same Nibali that Contador had no problem dropping last year.

Team TT will help Wiggins but too many mountains for Wiggins if the rumours are correct for next year. Probably back to one individual TT as well or maybe two short ones. Froome would be better chance than Wiggins along with Contador and Schleck. Probably too much climbing for Evans as well. Contador will be favourite.

Depends, with Contador's recent suspension obviously clinic factors come into play, I'd assume he'd be weaker because of it and would therefore favour Wiggins.

Yeah they climb at one constant tempo, Contador specializes in pace changes and has a crazy acceleration on steep ramps.

We can't even have this discussion without knowing the route anyway.
