Thanks for the link, some cross correlations will be done, I just hope there's one more after the Giro and yet another if any major players don't make it.

"Bradley! You're not pushing the numbers. You need to keep pushing 400 watts!"
"I'm pushing 410!"

Meanwhile, Andy rides further and further away.

"Froomey! You have to do something."

Froome turns on the turbo and catches Andy almost immediately. Andy looks back but not to look for his brother nor with his trademark 'I'm suffering grin'. No, his face is serene and determined as he accelerates again as Froome desperately tries to follow.
Froome looks down at his powermeter and roars in rage, unnaturally loud.

"Impossible..." - Sean gasps as he sees the watts.

Froome roars again, the sound waves knocking several spectators down.

"Froomey, stay calm! They can't know."

Froome's eyes grow red while his whole body seems to grow, morph and change. We can see wings beginning to portrude from his back before he stares straight into the camera. We can see the hate and anger that lies within those eyes as all screens jump to static.

I laughed.

TJVG has a chance in the next few years but he needs long ITT's and not so steep mountains.

What happened to him at Pais Vasco?

Contador
Quintana
Froome
Schleck

All dinged for having a face that is too narrow. We can deduce this is an important trait for the tour.

Clearly therefore the skinniest face should win.

How cool would it be, if Andy would start showing signs of form in LBL, top-10 in Dauphiné.

And then be the only one able of demolishing the Sky Train in the Tour.

HAHAHAHAHAHA... Do you have more of this?

TVG is another a fast foward 4 years ahead of another version of wiggin. Unfortunately he is in the same generation as Quintana. Tough luck for him.

After today's race, Sagan will Smoke the tour.

Top 10 or 2 jerseys.

Really you think Sagan will be able to survive in the high mountains talk about over reaction

No, but he can drop everyone before a mountain, be caught and lose contact on the mountain itself, go berserk on the descent, and win every stage and TT.

lol
