Who cares? Forgetting that Contador will win without ever having to breathe hard, and Andy Schleck will be second, who would you like to see win based on nothing other than your personal favouritism? Feel free to post your top 3 or top five as well. _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin' AC Beef   Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2011 1:47 am verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area If I were AC, I'd avoid eating any Spanish beef! _________________ Chas.

It's all over rover for Wiggins & Horner, and some of the others have some serious time gaps to close. Highlights so far? What do people think? I was pretty happy when Cadel held out to beat Contador. That was nice. Also pretty happy to see Farrar get his first stage win. He's been knocking on that door for a while now. _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin'   Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 4:48 am nicolas Joined: 13 Mar 2006 Posts: 543 Location: Paris, France I have to say I'm impressed by the job done by the BMC team to get Evans in the first row of the peloton at all times. They believe in him. This is the first time he's in such a good condition... _________________ "Ooooh Putain !!!

He only lost 1:48 to Evans on the same course 8 weeks ago. If he is wearing yellow and has a 2 minute lead. Wow! That would be the most exciting race since Fignon/LeMond in 89. Realistically, the chances of him keeping that 2 min lead are slim, but stranger things have happened. I really hope he gets on the podium though. _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin' Re: Ante Up Gentlemen   Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2011 10:26 pm verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area Wisey wrote: Forgetting that Contador will win without ever having to breathe hard, and Andy Schleck will be second...

I don't think it does much for a sport where the men already wear spandex, shave their legs, wear a rainbow jersey when they are the World Champions, and give out polka dot and pink jerseys.... I never saw Armstrong, Hinault, Fignon, Lemond...etc. cry on the podium! _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:53 pm Wisey Joined: 19 May 2009 Posts: 631 Location: Brisbane, Australia I saw Fignon cry on the podium………. but that was because LeMond won. _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin' Ante Up Gentlemen     gitaneusa.com Forum Index » Pro Racing - Classics/Giro/Tour....
