4 Löfkvist finally lasting a whole Tour finishing top 15 while helping Wiggins to a podium.
5 Team Sprocket having a good successful year.

 

[Angliru]

Radioshack pulls sponsorship after Armstrong sex video surfaces on TMZ. Armstrong and Bruyneel scramble for another sponsor and are offered jobs at Footon-Servetto bringing along Leipheimer. With no wins, no leader's jerseys gained, they suffer through the entire 2010 season in that buck naked kit.

I thought it, but i refrained from saying it.. I do not want to do, or say anything that may cause a jinx

1. Alberto to crash on the cobbles in the Tour.
.

thats almost better than a failed test and expulsion from the tour..

 

[maltiv]

1) Haussler wins a monument.
2) Thor Hushovd finally wins at Roubaix
3) Andy and AC battles it out at the Tour, until Jens Voigt suddenly attacks solo on stage 20 and gets 50 minutes on the rest of the field due to pure willpower and pain-tolerance, resulting in everyone else falling outside of the time limit.
4)EBH wins worlds. Perhaps then, he would not be passed by: 6 random skiers, 1 golf player, 3 football players, 2 swimmers, 1 chess player and a Javelin thrower in the "Norwegian athlete of the year" award.
5) Sastre wins giro, Evans 2. yet again.

[Moondance]

1. Contador outsprints Lance for a Tour stage, doing his gun salute as he crosses the line. The Texan exercises his right to bear arms and shoots Alberto with an actual gun.

2. Someone will care about the results of the 'Vattenfall' Hamburg 'Classic'

3. Alejandro Valverde's courtroom battles reach such an epic level that noted Spanish film director Alejandro Amenábar makes the film Guerra en Lausana detailing the dramatic and historic events. Valverde will be played by Javier Bardem and D!ck Pound by Will Farrell.

4. So frustrated with Mark Cavendish's constant winning, Bernard Hinault runs up and actually steals the green jersey from Cav during the Champs-Elysees presentation.

5. To help with his constant falling Denis Menchov gets training wheels. He doesn't fall and finishes 4th in the Tour and 2nd in the Vuelta.

 

[doddy13]

1) Cavendish winning MSR again
2) Hagen breaking through even more.
3) The jokes about Footon's kit (Mostly the colour resembling something else)
4) Wiggins going top 3 in the TDF whilst Lance gets 4th
5) Tour of Flanders in general.

 

[The_Z_man]

1) George Hincapie sports the Stars & Stripes on the top step at the Roubaix Velodrome. (Yeah, I know someone beat me to this, but it's what I really want to see)

2) Skil-Shimano wins Team Competition at TdF.

3) Non-Spaniard wins the Vuelta.

4) In a surprise last minute ruling, the UCI says FootOn jerseys are just too damn ugly to allow in the peleton.

5) Lance Armstrong gets the world hour record, for tweeting, that is.

Crystal Ball Time

1) Contador being busted three days before the start of the tour, Astana being thrown out, and Andy Schleck winning his first tour.
2) the curse of the rainbow hitting cadel as he breaks his collarbone in the TdU
3) Cavendish winning Milan San Remo, and the World Championship
4) EbH shocking everyone, winning three stages and the green jersey in the tour
5) Simoni wearing pink in the giro

I think you need a new crystal ball. The only one I half agree with is number 1

 

[markene2]

1. Vinokourov wins LBL and top 3 at the giro

2. Armstrong putting up a good fight in the tdf

3. Robert Hunter to win a stage in a GT

4. We get as much a exciting world's as we had in 2009

5. Good luck to the peleton

Why don't we see your 5 moments Susan?

1) Valverde is in the lead of the TDU but he punctures and the mechanical support won't give him a wheel. The tables would of turned! he then loses the tdu
2) Evans wins the giro
3) Contador gets busted like in Puerto but the on;y evidence of whose blood bag it is the codename which says "I hate Lance".
4) George does the Flanders/Roubaix double. it's about time he had a major classic win to himself.
5) Armstrong bonks on the stage on top f the tourmalet while in the lead and jaan kirsipuu (who has come back to the tour) even beats to the finish.

2. Sky to outperform Lotto in the spring classics with EBH taking a monument.
3. Cavendish leads a 9 man British team to World title in Melbourne.
4. Rapha-Condor-Sharp win the Tour Series crits in Uk.
5. Cavendish to Sky transfer saga dominates headlines from mid March for the rest of the year
