Not really, I'm pretty sure TT's have Time Limits.
yeah, but usually a lot easier to make it.

*facepalm*
Remember Evans never attacks. Even when he attacks, he's not really attacking. Also he never put the pace of the group he's in. If you see Evans leading his group is only because he's sucking an invisible wheel.

Shouldn't be any problems for Evans to take the overall.

Hopefully Evans.
But Voeckler will most likely finish in top 5. I can't be unhappy after this Tour.
Yeah? You are so sure? As much as I like Voeckler, he will be lucky to finish 6th or 7th.
Lucky to be 6th? After a closer look at the standings, I think that's where he will be. Definitely Contador and probably Sanchez will overtake him, but that's about it.
Ok, I'm sorry, I didn't realised how big gap is between him and Cunego. Well, he will finish clear 6th. |

Seriously? So in your opinion every rider should attack all the time? It is not allowed to just sit, and tire out your opponents. You must be disappointed every time you watch cycling

Then who was it who was once again pulling the "peloton" so to speak to stop the Contador and A. Schleck breakaway from going all the way. It was Evans once again. And he was the one who tried in the last km's to drop Andy although Andy needs the time just as much even though I think both were pretty much at their limit |

We indeed saw Evans pulling his group because he had too , but once he got Andy back , we saw him wheelsuck to the finish

He did what he had to do. If you can't see that, I can't help you.

I can't wait, gonna try and watch it with all my mates. It will be massive if he wins, and the TT will be watched by millions in Australia tomorrow.
Shleck has the advantage of knowing Evans' splits, plus he has the jersey on his shoulders so i think it will be close. Hopefully the pressure becomes too much for him

I have respect for what Evans has shown the last few days , but before those i can't remember him pulling his group to the finish , i'm sorry but thats just the way i look at things i guess

Evans has the advantage over A.Schleck of having ridden the stage in competition. No doubt both of them has already tested it in training, but you can't recreated the intensity of a race in training. He finished 6th in that TT btw. 1'20" after Martin.

I'm not a fan of Evans but I have to say he is more active than in the last years. Yesterday and also today he did a great job. But I think wheelsucking is just a sign of weakness. And Evans is much stronger than in the last years. So he is able to set a strong pace in the front. It will be very tough tomorrow. I can't say who will win. Both A.Schleck and Evans deserve it. |

If Evans wins Tour de France tomorrow, Leopard Trek will have made podium, but without the win at Milano San Remo, Ronde Van Vlaanderen, Paris Roubaix, Liege Bastogne Liege and Tour de France.
Anyway, I see Evans as a clear favourite for tomorrow. If I should bet on it, I would bet on Cadel. The chances which I see now for the win in percentages are - Cadel 75, Andy 20, Frank 5. Maybe yellow will give Andy wings, maybe Cadel won't be as good as I think. So maybe then, but with a really, really small chance then Frank can take the win in a quite similar way like he did in last year's Tour de Suisse.. But still, if I have good DB right now, Evans will win this and bros will take the other 2 places on the podium.
But still there is a small hope in me. So... GO ANDY! GO FRANK!
AND GO FABIAN!

You give Fränk FIVE percent? My odds right now would be 66/33/1 for Evans/Andy/Fränk. And the 1 is because I don't want to go decimal...
Go Hagen! I want to see more crazy Norwegian commentators! |
