GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 31, 2011 Share I think it will be between three teams, my first choice is Liquigas, I think they are going to be strong with Basso and Nibali, my second choice is Astana with Kreuziger and Vino, my third choice The Schlecks. So, I am going with Basso, Nibali or Kreuziger. I am hoping for Nibali. Edited January 31, 2011 by GrumpyOldGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted January 31, 2011 Share  So, I am going with Basso, Nibali or Kreuziger. I am hoping for Nibali. I believe Kreuzinger is going for the win at the Giro,so count him out for the Tour. He's good, but not good enough to do a double... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowbee Posted January 31, 2011 Share Bobster, how many have a double in the same year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Bobster, how many have a double in the same year ? Only 7 have ever done a giro-tour double. The last being pantani. (Merckx did it three times!) No cyclist has ever won all three Grand Tour events in the same year. Only five cyclists have won all three of the Grand Tours during their career: Jacques Anquetil (FRA): 5 Tours (1957, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964), 2 Giri (1960, 1964), 1 Vuelta (1963). Alberto Contador (ESP): 3 Tours (2007, 2009, 2010), 1 Giro (2008), 1 Vuelta (2008) Felice Gimondi (ITA): 1 Tour (1965), 3 Giri (1967, 1969, 1976), 1 Vuelta (1968) Bernard Hinault (FRA): 5 Tours (1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1985), 3 Giri (1980, 1982, 1985), 2 Vueltas (1978, 1983) Eddy Merckx (BEL): 5 Tours (1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1974), 5 Giri (1968, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974), 1 Vuelta (1973) Edited January 31, 2011 by TNT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bos Posted January 31, 2011 Share Who Else Is riding, Im a bit out of the loop (been of velopages for to long  I take it the fact that theres so much climbing takes guys like Evans & Vinikorof out? Is Evans still riding or is he still crying about last years crash? Looks like he is riding but I dont think he can climb with the top guys.  I love Vino, Just cause the oke is as crazy as sa flipping fruitbat, and actually makes for good watching.  I recon If Basso's training is right he has enough experiance to try some tricks on "the stick insect"  Otherwise Christian Vandevelde can climb, maybe not a direct threat.  I, Donno, Anyone but Schlek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 31, 2011 Share I believe Kreuzinger is going for the win at the Giro,so count him out for the Tour. He's good, but not good enough to do a double... Oh, Okay, I thought he was going to be doing the tour not the Giro.  ....but if he do's the Giro, I can only see Nibali as opposition. In which case Nibali cant be a contender at the Tour either, so I will have to adjust my wish list somewhat...........  ........I hope for a Basso win.
