Red Zone Posted October 23, 2013 Share Looks like its going to be a great tour to watch. Methinks a trip to the muddy island may be in order, followed by watching the tour in France and then finishing up with a go atthe Alpe d'Huez triathlon on 30 July.

ScottCM Posted October 23, 2013 Share GummiBear do you have a profile of the 54km TT? I heard them say there is an up hill in the last 10 km, would like to know the severity of it as this might limit Schleck's losses time wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted October 23, 2013 Share Stage 18 should be interesting, just before the TT, to end off with Shcleck jump off the front with 70km to go in order to gain time to compensate the TT lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesme Posted October 23, 2013 Share I like the fact that 6 stages is mountain top finishes, def gives CF a good chance, being a good climber, but then that South American also becomes a threat. Can' wait for next year. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted October 24, 2013 Share Froome welcomes balanced Tour de France route, Says he and Wiggins can race togetherFroome admitted that cobbles would take him out of his natural element but stressed that the likes of Nairo Quintana and Alberto Contador would find themselves in a similar scenario. Contador was present during the Tour’s last venture onto the pave producing a crucial ride in his defence of his then Tour title.But Froome called the 2014 route balanced; adding that a Tour route should indeed test any aspiring champion’s skill over a number of terrains and scenarios.“I still feel like there’s more I can work on,” he told Cyclingnews.“I’m always looking to improve and I hope that the experiences from this year are something I can take into next year.”Froome was finally asked whether the possible inclusion of Bradley Wiggins in Sky’s Tour line up could act as a hindrance rather than a help. Ever quick to deflect the mere possibility of friction within the team, Froome reiterated that the pair would act professional if the 2012 race winner was chosen to ride.
