Tour de France

[spen-cer]

Stage 1 today.
If any of you follow this at all who do you think will fill Lance's spot and win?

Thomas Voeckler or George Hincapie are my picks

 

[i.ski.troll.]

since lance started winning ive been following wayyy close, but since hes not riding in it i dont think i will follow it as close

 

[al_britskiier]

Thor Hushovd will win today.

Cadel Evans will win the whole tour.

Mark Cavendish will win 2 stages.

WATCH OUT FOR WILL FRISCHKORN!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

just kidding. that dude is a fucking tool.

 

[meggles]

I'm really pulling for George Hincapie..but he's a pretty big guy so we'll see. But, interstingly enough George isn't the team leader for Team Columbia..Kim Kirchen is..and I have noo idea what he's like. So we'll see. But I'm definitely pulling for Team Columbia as far as teams are concerned.

 

[fujarome]

how can you be talking about someone to fill lance's spot? He retired in 2005, there's been 2 races since he finished. The sport has already moved on.

as for this year though, i'd like to see hincapie win it, but for some reason i doubt it

 

[BMskier]

i wish that tv channel was still there that showed the race ya know....

 

[meggles]

If you're in the US it's on Versus.

 

[jimmer]

ALBERTO CONTADOR FTW

 

[nonexistant]

i like it!

 

[skithebert]

dammit, i wish ill on him and he gets 2nd and is third overall? wtf

 

[Billiards.]

Id like to see Alejandro Valverde take it because the spanish took Eurocup, Wimbledon, and then then Tour would be sick too. I think he has a good chance, but we all know things change a lot once we get into the mountains. We will just have to see!

 

[punk_rider]

If Hincapie wins the tour, I swear I will run naked on the Champs Elysees at the final stage!

Le tuor is maybe this year the most open one since years. Since main cheaters and drugs takers left, clean riders have better chance. However, this year's winner will probably a drug taker anyway.

There wasn't a ceal winner probably since .. I guess Bernard Thevenet or something like that.

 

[Astomp]

henrik vondenburg will win most of everything

 

[skiminnesota]

CLAIM just the other day i biked past the first American ever to win the "tour" CLAIM

 

[Bob_Gnarley]

your saying Lance wasn't a "real winner"?

 

[NC-skier]

Hincapie

 

[al_britskiier]

Contadors not in it this year mate ^^^

Interesting tour this year. And Hincapie wont win, hes too big!

 

[punk_rider]

I mean he was a cheater. But no Armstrong bashing here, he was not the only one. Let's say he was the strongest among the drug takers

 

[al_britskiier]

Exciting tour this year. Today and tomorrow will be epic.

 

[jibsworth]

Hincapie just doesn't have what it takes to win, how long has be been trying to win Paris-Roubaix? He can't even make that happen and he is suposse to be a classics rider.

Hincapie is a glorified support rider who people only know because he rode with Lance.

 

[jimmer]

who, greg lemond?

and i was soooo stoked on ricardo ricco and he's on roids.

 

[white+wolf]

I think Frank Shleck is gonna pull it off

 

[BASS_PRO_SHOP]

gah such a tossup still! looove it.

 

[artfullydodged]

todays stage is a national park over two huge peaks, should be a great stage

 

[BMskier]
