Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

[raindog]

Will be watching how Cav performs today. This wouldn't normally be a stage for him with such an uphill finish, but want to see how the weight loss is really affecting his performance.

The other day Cav said it would suit EBH more than himself, so he'll probably sit this one out, but then, you never know.....

I think today's going to be pretty interesting. Will be watching how Cav performs today. This wouldn't normally be a stage for him with such an uphill finish, but want to see how the weight loss is really affecting his performance.

Having said that - my money is on Gilbert today. I know he hasn't had great form so far this year, but I think today's stage was made for him.

Who's everyone else predicting today?

I think EBH will get this today

Today will be Gilbert vs. Sagan vs. EBH... and Sagan will win. Cards on the table...

 

[rowdin]

Evans might have a go too.

 

[fozy tornip]

Are you sure it was Evans you were looking at? I mean, he does look an awful lot like Virgil Tracey....

Pah! I see your Virgil Tracey and raise you Teb, from Galaxy Quest:

here seen on the right taking oathes of allegiance form his skin-suited domestiques

Albassini - just because I don't think anybody has mentioned him yet

 

[User169]

Looked in the mirror this morning - this year, it could be my year..

Already put mine on the table ^^^. My money's on Fast Phil. All 3 are in my fantasy team this week so I'll be delighted with that podium.

Think they look a bit weird. Not sure I like them.

 

[raindog]

Except for Montage, we've all given the three favourites to win. Not very original are we?

Also, given his form, I'd put Chavanel out there as a big contender for today.


Ha! Monfort taking a quick break to say hi to his family!

 

[smutchin]

Who's everyone else predicting today?

Completely unimaginative but:
1.Sagan
2.Evans
3.Gilbert

EBH, Cav and Wiggo to finish in the top ten. (Wiggo will chase when Evans attacks.)

Cav sprinting for intermediate points there - I thought he said he wasn't interested in green? The cheeky monkey.
