Alright man lovers Le Tour starts tomorrow and it's time to break out your rainbow flags and put the rainbow magnets back on the bumper of your Subaru and talk about wee slips of men in sausage gear on tiny little bikes worth more than the car I drive.
I've no idea who to pull for this year. Contador is out due to a doping ban so my requisite "anyone but Contador" isn't an option and Andy Schleck is out due to an injury so no Schleck brothers band wagon.
I'd like root for Thor simply because the name is BOSS but he's out due to a viral infection.
All the big brains are talking up Brit Bradley Wiggins. And there's a nice group of Americans with outside chances.
Can Cadell pull out a second victory? I personally think not but what the fuck do I know. The time trials play to his strengths so we'll see what the old man can do.

Much like NASCAR I watch for the wrecks as much as I watch the racing.

This season has been a disappointment in terms of wrecks. The sprints for the finish in the early stages of The Tour will make up for that.Ed Zachary wrote:LOL

I think that Evans wins......perhaps. Wiggens won't be able to take back enough time in the TTs but it will be real close.Ed Zachary wrote:Alright man lovers Le Tour starts tomorrow and it's time to break out your rainbow flags and put the rainbow magnets back on the bumper of your Subaru and talk about wee slips of men in sausage gear on tiny little bikes worth more than the car I drive.

You joke, Bobby, but Schleck is out because of an injury sustained box-jumping.
It's great to be first at last

Listen. I won't have you Euro trash queering up my thread about tight young men in spandex riding bicycles worth more than my car.

Yeah, but if the world's fittest athletes are already busy that weekend that's just going to leave the B-teams on some of the most vital stages of the tour.

Since we know EPO testing will take out any winner(s), who will actually win it? Will he finish higher than 54th in the initial results?

Re: It's That Time Again: Le Tour 2012
Cavendish will not will the green jersey although i hope he will. I fear the loss of the 10km lead out train, the team having Wiggins going for the GC win and the olympics 6 days after the tour finishes will combine to be too much for him.
I'd say on the bottom of that self-actualisation pyramid shit, proper decent coffee is in there with wifi, tits, food and shelter

Looking good for Wiggins.
I don't see Evans making any kind of comeback.
And I didn't know they had ellipitical chain rings.
