Who wins the 2011 Tour de France

[ericthesportsman6]

I'm going with Andy

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

me also.

but i think it could go either way.

IMO the distance between the 2 is the perfect distance.

 

[LukeSchmid]

Voted with my heart, Cadel can do it. It might only be by a few seconds either way.

 

[ak-zaaf]

If Andrew isn't completely torn up he should keep it within the minute.

 

[sulgpallur]

andy, cant see him lose in TT

 

[K-0tic]

Cadel, since Andy has never beaten Cadel before in a TT

 

[luckyboy]

Evans Evans please Evans

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Cadel, since Andy has never beaten Cadel before in a TT

apart from last yeah ey


anyway @08
Andy was 1.57 behind. But evans had a lot more to ride for, and schleck has improved since.
@09
evans by 31 seconds, with less to ride for tho.

will be a close thing.

 

[jobiwan]

Andy can do it (I think)!!!!!!!!!!!!! I probably won't be able to watch, but I'll be cheering him on regardless!

 

[saganftw]

57 seconds + yellow jersey should be enough

i also believe frank will screw up like a boss and loose podium to AC

 

[luckyboy]

On this course in the Dauphine, Evans beat Vino by 58secs, VDB2 by 1'19", Gesink by 1'26".
Schleck isn't as strong in the TT as any of them, different circumstances and all, but that's all we have to compare on this course.

gonna be a nervous watch no doubt.

 

[Zoncolan]

Voted Andy, hoping Cadel.
Think Cadel will take ~ 40" in the TT.

 

[dlwssonic]

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASSSSSSSSSSSE EVANS!!!
I will be totally depressed if he gets 2nd.

In 2009, Evans had nothing to ride for and ended up 30th. AS improved since then, nevertheless I haven't seen Evans so strong since 2007 or 2008 so I rate him to do better. Will be close though anyway.

 

[Cobblestones]

Cadel, please Cadel.

 

[eztarget]

I just want to see the final stage to Paris start with AS & CE tied!

How awesome would that be if they had to sprint to the finish line in Paris for a win.

 

[luckyboy]

If Evans doesn't win this year, he surely never will.

 

[sublimit]

Andy has Frank as his minute man, Evans has Voekler, Evans will catch Voekler very easily and go past whereas Andy will take a long time if at all to get up to Frank..

I go with Andy.

@08 Evans had a complete shocker in the final ITT. Evans looks much stornger now.

Evans needs 1.36seconds per km.

He needs to be 20 seconds up at 1st time check
He needs to be 38 seconds up at 2nd time check

At least 58 up at final check

 

[Angliru]

For once in my cycling lifetime I'm hoping and praying that Cadel pulls it out. If Andy wins the proportions to which his ego will grow will be beyond measure. He won't even be able to fit Cancellara's helmet! For the sake of humanity and all that is right in the world Andy must lose!

Andy needed to pad his lead over Cadel to a more comfortable 2 minutes in order to have a chance to win the overall. With a fairly lengthy ITT looming it looks like it'll be 2nd place again. I hope....and pray.

C'mon Cadel, you can do it!

lol yeah cause motivation will make them quicker then cav and co.

anyway impossible. It would then come down to TTT hundredths of a second. And if that was equal, I would assume the most best placings? Which I assume cadel would win.

Who says they have to win the final stage? I mean come down to a sprint between the TWO of them not the sprinters.

And how would it be impossible? If Cadel takes :57 seconds tomorrow then they are tied.

Andy has Frank as his minute man, Evans has Voekler, Evans will catch Voekler very easily and go past whereas Andy will take a long time if at all to get up to Frank..

I go with Andy.

I believe if two riders are from the same team and are right next to each other in standings they will split them up......I think Bernard Kohl in 2008 even though he was 3rd in GC before TT had to go 2nd last to split up Sastre and Frank Schleck

 

[ansimi]

It'll be close but I'll go with Cadel.
