Red Zone Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Vino seems to be the fave and justifyably so. Would be nice to see Mr hunter sneek ahead for a stage, hopefully he packed the shamois cream this year
TNT1 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Maybe you should wait and see who actually makes it past the UCI to the start line before picking a winner. So far, Astana have not yet signed the anti-doping code (the one where you forfeit a years pay if caught) so technically they aren't even eligible to start yet...
Evan Andreou Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 The course favours strong time triallists (both indiv tt's are 50+km) and with only four mountaintop finishes I would say a guy who can TT well and not lose much in the mountains has the best chance. Expect Cadel Evans, Mick Rogers, Leipheimer to feature.Frank Schleck and even Bobby Julich have an outside chance.Sastre's TT will let him down although he should do well in the mountains My pick is Vino, mainly because he is the "Kamakazi Khazaki" and if nothing else provides d@mn fine entertainment
Tumbleweed Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 wolfie, do you think schleck intentionally slacked off after the early stages of the swiss tour to save himself for the tdf? ps did you ride this morn? wasn't so bad today!
Evan Andreou Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 HRWasn't that brave this morning.Shleck is one of those guys who is systematically improving, , wouldn't surprise me if it was deliberate
Poison Ivy Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Saw an article in the week where Hendrik Redant favours Cadel Evens for GC win..... Maybe he knows something we don't
scotty Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Vino, if he can get or will allow some of his team to help him.
Christie Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I don't think Schleck or Evans has a chance against Vino or Kloden in the TT's. Schlech cant outclimb Vino, so hows he going to win?
BikeMax Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 I don't think Schleck or Evans has a chance against Vino or Kloden in the TT's. Schlech cant outclimb Vino' date=' so hows he going to win?[/quote'] He can certainly outcimb Vino on a good day but otherwise he just needs to wait for Vino to make a stupid mistake and lose about 10 mins in one day (He seems to do it most years)
Christie Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Also, I forgot to mention Valverde. He'll have Pereiro in support, they will also be a factor. Leipheimer, Sastre, Evans could could fill out the top 10.
racman Posted June 29, 2007 Author Posted June 29, 2007 You may be right 101% - if you listen to all the LA detractors, Discovery are light years ahead of anyone else in undetected (non-"Discovery") doping!! racman2007-06-29 03:04:59
101% Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Well if hes using LA's doctor...hes gonna win hands down!!!!!
