Great stuff. Rather surprised J-Rod is a fan of Museeuw but I guess it's the thingy you arn't so good at you admire the most about other riders. Anyhoo, Purito going to take it this year.Edited by Shonak on 23-04-2014 16:24

Now, the question is, how many will actually reach the startling before they all get struck down by illness.
Top 10:
1.Uran
2.Purito
3. Quintana
4.Evans
5.Majika
6.Niemiec
7.Cataldo
8.Poels
9.Martin
10.Kelderman
Red- Purito
Blue- EBH(Sky will attempt to stick him into everything that moves, and he's an average climber)
Biggest surprise- Uran.
Biggest disappointment- Kittel.
Disclaimer- Most of my posts are me thinking aloud. And most of what I think is rubbish.

Any know who is leading Saxo, Majka or Roche. I know Majka did well here last year but the Race is starting in Ireland. Or will they ride like they did in the Vuelta and ride for the guy who is dong the best after the 1st week?

Trying to win the Tour for your team/get a stage win seems pretty good.
Meh in my opinion when you have the skill to lead a Grand Tour and instead you play 3rd fiddle for 2 other guys in your only peak of the season, that is a failure.

In-form Roche would be a massive asset to Contador in the Tour, probably even more so an asset for the team than peaking as a potential leader for the Giro. Not a clear cut case, but not a 'failure' either.
