We are on the same time.

Loved that tweet

 

Hahahahaha! I wonder if Horner will get a nod after this. Or if he'd want it.

(ADW) The news comes as bombshell to the cycling world: victim of fractured sacrum, Andy Schleck will not take part in the start of the Tour de France stating on Saturday, June 30th in Liege.

Last Thursday a gust of wind during the fourth stage of the “Critérium du Dauphiné Libere”, from Villiers-Morgon to Bourg-en-Bresse, swept Andy Schleck off his bike twelve kilometers into the course causing a serious fall.

Fränk's brother suffered greatly from an injury with a fracture or crack of the sacrum (lower back). The injury was confirmed by an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan performed Tuesday in Luxembourg.

Levi could be good as well

 

Probably with Evans the only other GC guy that can hold his own in the ITT against Wiggins.

 

Hope Evans does the repeat. Just to give Hincapie a proper send off.

I don't think so.....it's a great Team but they need new management.

I know Frank will probably the new GC leader but Fuglsang might be an interesting dark horse. Since he was the leader for the Giro but was injured. So he should have some form at this point. Plus he can TT.

Jakob can climb and TT well so he is a possibility

[robsc]

I still say the Chris Froome may podium this year . Its a very strong possibility as I don't think he rode his heart out at the Dauphine

[nickc]

Jakob can climb and TT well so he is a possibility

 

Plus having won the Cape Epic he also gets my vote !!

[The Pirate]

Wiggins. He has the strongest team in the mountains.

[Cav']

So can we assume all the people who voted for Schleck in the poll will vote for Wiggins

or Evans maybe....

I agree.He is my pick Time for a new yellow jersey.You will see.Wiggens will have to support him

[Cal Naughton Jr.]

Wiggins peaked just at the right time during the Dauphine to be a brilliant Lieutenant for Chris Froome when he peaks in July

 

And RSNT left Chris Horner out of their squad because they claimed he had a back injury. Chris says his back is fine and he found out about his exclusion over the internet (Twitter).

Wiggins. He has the strongest team in the mountains.

 

Agree, if they can get through the first week unscathed.

 

BMC have shown how well they can deliver/protect Cadel. Sky, not so much.

I have replaced Andy with Frank on the poll.

 

If you want to change your vote now, do so by deleting yours and then revoting.

 

Let's see how this shake things up...
