+ 1 on Contador!

Should be interesting to see how many km of TT there will be.

 

Or will Wiggo have to actually climb a bit.

There's so many contenders for a route with many high mountain stages:

 

Twiggo

Hesjedal (likely to defend his Giro title)

'Berto

Nibali (more likely to go for Giro)

2012 Young Rider what's his name again?

Rodriquez, Katusha

Froome Dog

Evans, to ride one more time.

Tejay.... yeah!

 

Although BMC will have Evans as team nr 1 for one more year...

Then Tejay will succeed him.

I think Evans will start as team leader but won't finish as leader. He'll have to let Tejay go once the attacks start. I can't see Evans on the podium.

Speculation is 2 ind TT and 1 TTT. Personally I don't think Wiggo will stand a chance.

 

2 ITTs and 1 TTT will favor Sky. Somehow I doubt they will have 2 ITT's again.

 

I'm hoping for a TTT start like at the Vuelta and then an ITT to finish things off before they hit the Champs. The normal "recipe"!

 

This should be a big one with all the iconic climbs being included. Alpe d'Huez, Ventoux, Galibier, etc etc etc! I'm predicting a massive amount of climbing and a couple more summit finishes than what we are used to.

Humph!!!!

 

I'm tired of these grand tours that mean only a mountain goat with a good team behind him can win, why can't they come up with a 3 week tour with a bit of everything and that could be won by a rider from any of the team taking part?
