Ultimate stage win team. Me thinks they get at least 6, who raises?
Most stage wins: Etixx or France?

Do you know Riis what i found hillarious? How you completely ignore flat and "soft-bumpy" aspect of GTs, which is basically half of every GT. You are able to write hundreds and hundreds of posts about stars and GTs, but almost never about flat stages, sprinters and puncheurs (when they are not named Valverde).
Nothing bad, just funny.

Yeah, it simply doesn't interest me too much. Like it really doesn't. But to my defence, I've mentioned the nature of the less bumpy 'flat stages' (not looking too god for your man Sagan IMO, unfortunately) and discussed how many stage wins Etixx/Kittel will get and I even mentioned 3 French sprinter in my preview!
I know, its slightly pathetic. The GC-relevant stages will always get 80% of my attention which there are many, MANY of this year. 11 in total, excluding potentially difficult echelons stages and the Sagan-build finish on stage 2. |

Might be Vermote again we'll see. Not 100% sure Terpstra is going as well but the rest 7 are a lock.

That's wrong fanboy / hater logic. The thing that one dislikes Froome / Contador doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to win.
What really annoys a little bit is that lots of people try to assert themselves at the expense of Contador or Froome. I'd gladly read suchlike guys building up an ionospheric hype around Tibaut Pinot or Tejay Van Garderen. Cycling and sport as a whole clearly spoil people in this regard, by making their instincts quite low.

Yes, I have no problem with the Contador v Froome duel is getting played out verbally on this forum and physically, mentally, tactically aand what not in Dauphine these days. Meanwhile, Nairo has probably just received his plane ticket from the Movistar-headquarter to France and is kissing his girlfriend goodbye for a 6 hours training ride in 3000 metres.
Suckers. This is gonna be easy. |

I guess you missed the in my post
But I can also understand people wanting to see Contador lose, I don't take much pleasure watching convicted dopers like Contador and Valverde still being so good after a doping ban
