GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Bookies all disagree - Froome priced at 1/7. That means bet R7 to win R1. Other favourites as follows: Contador, Quintana & Valverde - ranging from 16/1 to 20/1.Mollema, Rodriques, Martin & Kreuzinger - 66/1.Ten Dam - 100/1Evans, Schleck & the rest - 100/1 and more Yeah, but its all just a Crapshoot really, its the future, no one knows, its just a case of looking at the odds and rolling the dice, sometimes ya win, some times ya lose. ......but I enjoy the speculation immensely.

I'm with you grumpy, loving the Tour this year!
Matts 300 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Hope cannondale up the pace before that cat climb. Break away from Cav and some of the other sprinters, and let sagan take a nother easy win! :-) you can dream ey?
jcza Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Took 3 mins for first attack of the day.

Zook Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Sky on the front? Sky, you need to keep your bullets for the mountains. Don't hurt y'self, y'hear.
jcza Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Interesting stats - Gap between leaders and 10th placed rider after rest day during past 10 Tours 2012: Besançon: 10th, Nicolas Roche, at 5'29” to Bradley Wiggins2011: Saint-Flour: 10th, Jakob Fuglsang, at 3'08” to Thomas Voeckler2010; Morzine: 10th, Michael Rogers, at 2'31” to Cadel Evans2009: Tarbes: 10th, Vincenzo Nibali, at 1'54” to Rinaldo Nocentini2008: Hautacam: 10th Vladimir Efimkin, at 2'32” to Cadel Evans2007; Tignes: 10th, Carlos Sastre, at 3'35” to Michael Rasmussen2006: Lorient: 10th, Denis Menchov, at 2'00” to Serhiy Honchar2005: Mulhouse: 10th, George Hincapie, at 4'05” to Jens Voigt2004: Quimper: 10th, Erik Zabel, at 10'06” to Thomas Voeckler2003: Marseille: 110th, Denis Menchov, at 3'45” to Lance Armstrong Currently Chris Froome (SKY) has an advantage of 2'45” to 10th placed Rui Costa (MOV). dracs 1
Wez-O Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) So this is a pretty close Tour thus far, although the flat TT will widen the gaps one would think. Edited July 9, 2013 by Wez-O
Wez-O Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Sky on the front? Sky, you need to keep your bullets for the mountains. Don't hurt y'self, y'hear.I was also trying to figure out the rational behind that? Every rider in the breakaway is over an hour behind Froome and it's a super flat stage.
jcza Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Remember Voeckler in yellow in 2004? What were they thinking letting him go.

Tour is far from over for a lot of guys.

dracs Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I was also trying to figure out the rational behind that? Every rider in the breakaway is over an hour behind Froome and it's a super flat stage.maybe just trying to send a message of strength to the peloton wo will be licking their lips after Sunday...
Wez-O Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Remember Voeckler in yellow in 2004? What were they thinking letting him go.Good point although surely on a super flat stage like this, there is no chance that Lotto, Quickstep, Argos Shimano & Cannondale would let any breakaway go far? Sky should be vary wary of Movistar come the Alps and and save energy accordingly... Yes?
Shebeen Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 http://boutique.letour.fr/stores/letour/products/product_details.aspx?pid=127204 wow...they still sell these?!
