Currahee! Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Who is your tip for winning? And who will be thrown out first for drug misuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 To answer my 1st question I think either Menchev or Sastre will win. Can't see Armstrong winning as I don't think he'll be team leader. As for the 2nd question......who knows but no doubt somebody will be thrown out in disgrace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn artist Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 looking for cav to get the green jersey. i'm gonna get amped up on EPO the now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbodog Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Contador will win it by a few minutes i would have thought. i would also think Sastre, Evans, Basso and Pelizotti will be top 10 finishers. Armstrong may just sneek a top 10 and Cavendish will at least 5 stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky999 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Whoever has the freshest legs going up the ventoux, look out for the schleck's this year, can never remember who is the strongest. I do think lance will be in top 10 and will have a say in whether Contador will win. I see Boonen has been cleared to race, should give Cav good run for his money, although i dont see cav getting through the mountains, He's a wimp, although a winning one at that.

Ryan Gosling Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Andy Schleck to win it. Armstrong to end up attacking Contador on a mountain stage and taking over team leadership. Boonen to beat Cavendish to at least 1 sprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Lambretta Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Andy Schleck Took him at 8/1 to win the Tour so here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong may just sneek a top 10 and Cavendish will at least 5 stages. Decided against Basso getting a top 10 finish mainly due to him not being in it. Schleck is a good shout but i think it may be a year early for him to overcome Contador and an extremely strong Astana team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lleigherstu Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 hopefully andy schleck will win it,helped by frank.contador is probably the strongest in the race and probably has the best team behind him but heres hoping they blow it.cav to win green jersey and a few stages along the way,and am glad to see boonen in the race as well.

Currahee! Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Cavendish to win todays stage. He should really. His team will get him set up for the sprint. If he's in the right position nobody can touch him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northfieldhearts Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Contador will probably win. But Andreas Kloden could be a wee outside shout - but I assume he will be instructed to help his teammates. Shame as a few years ago he looked like someone who could be a future Tour winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharky999 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 He never got the recognition that he deserved. The search fro Robert Millar is a great read. My thoughts as well, quite strange that he was at the same school as Fred west. I thought that he was portrayed as a bit of an arse, but with some intelligence, but he definetely knew he was as good as he was. Just a shame spanish collusion stopped him winning a major tour.

Boaby Ewing Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 That was great! Wonder what the team talk will be like at Astana tonight? Who's the leader now? Ha, what the hell is Contador playing at. He's even being blamed by some riders for causing the split. If he can't hold the wheel at this stage, he deserves to be usurped. Which is exactly what Armstrong is thinking. Still, the Texan needs to prove that he's still got it when it comes to the toughest mountain stages. It'll be interesting to see who attacks him first.

BigCGilmour Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Contador now needs to attack Lance! I'm pretty sure Lance will be able to keep in touch with him - especially as he will have other climbers trying to keep in touch with Contador - Lance seems to have done a great job so far whilst keeping it all a bit low key..........and there is still 20+ days to go This should be the best tour we've seen for many a year as there are now masses of permutations - all the top GC contenders need to attack to get time back, starting tomorrow in the Team TT. I'm hoping Lance will win overall. I also have a feeling Bradley Wiggins is going to be something of a surprise this year - fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee! Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Things now hotting up after the 1st day in the Pyranees. I wonder what the boss of Astana is going to do? Mind you it must be a good problem to have. How strong was Contador when he pulled away? I'd have been pushing my bike if it was me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
