Who do you have?
Froome? Contador? Maybe Nibali?

Where will this be broadcast?

Froome
I'd kind of like to see Contador get back up there though. Too much SKY.

It is Contador's to lose IMO.
I think Sky will crumble with Froome and Wiggins trying to figure out who is the leader.
The American who won Dauphine will get jacked (Talanski?)
It is a shame that they don't incorporate Alpe d'Huez every year and Ventoux every year.

Can't believe Quintana won't be there. I think contador will show good form, but froome should be able to defend it. I actually think talansky may provide his best challenge as long as his team doesn't crash out in week 1 like they seem to do often. I believe teejay will shiw better form and challenge for a top 5-10 finish. I'd like to see Schleck stay healthy and return to form. Nibali is solid, but I can't see him outclassing froome and I think he'll concede too much on time trials.

frick the Tour...
Unless you're really into stage wins, it's about as anticlimactic as it gets for the overall .

Rummy do you think they should give like 60 second time bonuses for stage wins, other than time trials to encourage going for the win?
Posted on 7/5/14 at 12:25 am to sms151t
That really wouldn't change the overall standings
Posted on 7/5/14 at 12:31 am to castorinho
I think it could, I know that the favorites bunch race so the mountains and time trials are basically what separates them. I do not have a problem with how it is done. But there always can be tweaks to give extra incentive to win a stage.

Hard to believe Wiggins isn't there. I understand why Froome wouldn't want him there, but shouldn't some start up team try to recruit him or something? I don't know how all that stuff works, just shocked that somebody that good would be left at home.
Also, hoping for Talansky to make the podium, he's had a great spring.

Nice wreck at the end of stage. Cavendish probably broke clavicle.

Dang, it'd suck if Cavendish were out. Kudos to Jens Voigt. Sagan doing his thing.
Any chance Tejay places this tour?
