My predictions:
Grand Tours:
Giro: Rodriguez finally gets his first grand tour win edging Quintana and Porte.
Tour: Froome wins in a tight battle with Nibali
Vuelta: Quintana wins by large margin

Monuments:
M-SR: Sagan (with Cancellara again on the podium)
RvV: Cancellara (a tight battle with Sagan, Boonen and Roetlands)
P-R: Boonen (in a sprint between a +15 riders group)
L-B-L: Rodriguez
GdL: Valverde

World Championships:
TT: Martin (again)
RR: Sagan (with Valverde on the podium again)

Yes, Mollema won the Vuelta stage where EBH finished second (one of them) and cost me a shitload of PCM $. Angry (Yes, i'm still annoyed about that. Pfft)

I agree with every prediction of Isso except the one about Nibali as I definitely see him riding top 3 at the Tour. Only Froome and possibly Quintana are better GC-riders at the moment (the resurrection of a bald Jesus doesn't count Smile).

Froome and stage racing : only till the end of the Tour. Sucking balls in Cali or at USPCC doesn't count.

If anything itll be due to doping allegations or doping.

Some more for you to critique:

TdF: Froome (close until very near the end, and the cobbles are dull, but end someone's race)
GdI: Quintana
VaE: someone who is injured in May.

MSR: Cance
RVV: Sagan
PR: Someone on Omega Pharma
LBL: Nibali
Worlds: Valverde comes second
GdL: Uran

Don't really care beyond that


This was actually quite accurate from TMM:
-(EDIT) No, but he did win stuff
-Yes, Terpstra
-Yeah?
-No
-Yeah, at least in le Tour
-I guess so


And I said this:
-Froome loses Tour because of one bad stage: He pulled out but same thing.
