ProTour Punditry Predictions

[Crackle]

Thanks Crackle

I was not expecting him to do so well, hoping he would but not expecting it.....So my delight at his leading is now mixed with curses, ah well.

STAGE 5: Michael Matthews

since I can't get anything right, i'll follow suit this time...MM for me too

stage 4: Betancur

This PN is turning into a very depressing thing for me

 

[smutchin]

If it's any consolation, I ummed and ahhed over my choice for today's stage before plumping for Rui Costa over Betancur...

Rui Costa has got some serious explaining to do when he's next round my gaff for a glass of LBV Port.

Where is he, he's got to be ahead of Andy Schleck though.

Stage 6 - warning everybody to change their prediction now - : Sepulveda

(I ain't gonna get it right anyway, so I might at least go loose and give it to young and promising guy)

 

[smutchin]

No prizes for guessing who picked Betancur for stage 6.

Pah!

Likely to be my last points this race though! Not heard a sniff from Gerrans or Gallopin who are my next stage picks.

Just realised we've all forgotten about the Ronde Van Drenthe tomorrow!

No idea who's in it, so stab in the dark time...

Annemiek Van Vleuten

Start list here:

Lizzie A is racing, along with Emma Johansson, Giorgia Bronzini and others.

(Given the lateness of the reminder, you can have an extension until tomorrow morning to make predictions!)

That's my knowledge of women's cycling captured in the words prior to "and others"

I'll go with Lizzie

 

[smutchin]

There are a good few names I recognise in the start list but my knowledge is poor. Armitstead is in good form though, as is Johansson. And surely Bronzini always has to be considered a contender.

Chloe Hosking looks interesting too but I know little about her.

Annemiek Van Vleuten is a former winner of this race and a teammate of the absent Marianne Vos.
