[OT] Tour de France
Anybody follow cycling? Wiggins looked good in the Dauphine, but I think all the other guys looked better in the Tour de Suisse. Contador is probably still pretty tired from winning the Giro so I think that’s going to make it a more exciting race this year. We’ve got a couple of Americans that I think 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 think.
<pagin … nah he won’t be on here …
Wot no engine?
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.
I figured you woud pop in here and say something. 
I want to see Hincapie just finish this year and win a stage next year 
Damn, I thought this was going to be a discussion about Kraftwerk.
Andy Schleck here.
Non merci.
As a Brit, it’s all about Cav …
Been waiting for someone to mention the Manx Missile. Hope he stays cool - wonderful to watch.
Yeah and for those that like sports with high horsepower engines that’s about the closest you’ll get in a bicycle race. I wonder how Tyler an Hushovd being on the same team will work out?
Thor all the way for the sprinters.
I was glad to see Horner take California. Seems like a stand up guy.
I think 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.
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…
Basso my dark horse. Andy’s looking out of sorts. Not sure about Contador. The Alps beckon…
Yeah I wasn’t expecting Basso to do that. I think 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.
I think Frank is the stronger of the two. I concur on Alberto - he’s troubled. Cadel also done himself proud. Voeckler is a revelation.
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.
