[OT] Tour de France Posted on: 30.06.2011 by Leeanna Ayla Anybody follow cycling? Wiggins looked good in the Dauphine, but I believe all the other guys looked better in the Tour de Suisse. Contador is probably still pretty tired from winning the Giro so I believe that's going to make it a more exciting race this year. We've got a couple of Americans that I believe can pull a top 10, but I'm doubtful on podium spots. Leipheimer in third would be the best we could hope for there I believe. | |
| Alla Bluemke 16.07.2011 | I was surprised there were more attacks honestly. But its just because they were all watching each other afraid to make moves and get dropped. Andy went a number of times and couldn't get away. I was surprised that someone didn't attack right after they bridged to him on maybe the 2 or 3rd attack. Smart move by Sachez to gain a few seconds on everyone though. I believe he knocked contador down a spot thanks to his little break. |

| Leeanna Ayla 16.07.2011 | Yeah I believe he really wanted to attack, but knew it wouldn't do him any good. If Cadel wasn't such a good time trialist I would say Voekler might have a chance. I guess the Alps is where the fire works will really happen this year. Contador will have to attack in the Alps and both Schlecks need at the very least 2 minutes on Evans I believe. |
| Alla Bluemke 16.07.2011 | Voekler is having the ride of his life right now. Responded to every single thing Andy threw at him. Freaking amazing. |
| Leeanna Ayla 16.07.2011 | my cards are all with Schleck Wise - Andy or Franck? Ask me in eight days |
| Lin Danek 16.07.2011 | I have no emotional attachment to The Shack Never really cut the mustard huh? my cards are all with Schleck Wise - Andy or Franck? You can look back at Thor's season and see that he trained for the tour - he's a great guy on and off the bike and I hope he does well. Hear, hear Now Voekler, that's a surprise And how - done himself and France proud. |

| Lin Danek 15.07.2011 | Well done Thor - was that Jester's hammer I saw? Sorry for Andreas and 'The Shack' Chris. |
| Alyse Plantenga 14.07.2011 | Cadel Evans all the way baby Aussie pride haha |
| Alla Bluemke 14.07.2011 | Contador is just pretty much retarded this year. He just fell for no reason. He's been in the back of the pack most of the races. Its probably cause he stopped doping since he was caught. Personally I have Cav (No offense to brits) but he is one cocky bastard. I would much rather have Thor or Greipel win. It was such a sweet sweet treat to see Greipel take Cav. |
| Lin Danek 14.07.2011 | I believe Frank is the stronger of the two. I concur on Alberto - he's troubled. Cadel also done himself proud. Voeckler is a revelation. |
| Leeanna Ayla 14.07.2011 | Yeah I wasn't expecting Basso to do that. I believe Andy's nervous, but Frank was on fire. And Contador couldn't keep up in the end. Voeckler is sure making his father and country proud today. |
| Lin Danek 15.07.2011 | Basso my dark horse. Andy's looking out of sorts. Not sure about Contador. The Alps beckon............ |
| Roy Houn 14.07.2011 | this is the 1st time ive really watched this and WOW!!! these guys are SUPER fit lol... that last stage today was or looked like a grueller lol...i take my hat off to these guys for what they are doing, 2100 miles in 21 days on fookin bike lol... |
| Leeanna Ayla 02.07.2011 | I believe Thor is going to be working fro Tyler in most of the stages, but we'll see. He said a couple of times his goal was to win A stage. |

| Lin Danek 01.07.2011 | Levi due a podium - would love to see that. Watch him in the TT. Agree on Contador, and they are not going to make it easy for him - did you hear the boos' in the Giro? Two South Africans on the Sky team (Chris Froome & JohnLee Augustyn) but they didn't make the cut. Wiggins is definitely a contender. Would be nice if George Hincapie got a stage - he equals the record for TdF starts (16) this year. I'm going with Andy Schleck. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 30.06.2011 | Wot no engine? |
| Spencer Kilcoyne 30.06.2011 | <pagin ... nah he won't be on here ... :P |
