At least Sky won't win their 3rd Tour in a row. I'm fine with either Nibali or Contador taking this.


I wouldn't be so certain. Porte has two things going for him 1) he's not Contador's main competition so he flies somewhat under the radar for now and 2) He will make up huge time in the ITT. If Porte can ride a steady tempo most days behind Contador and let him crack Nibali then Porte can easily make up 60 seconds in the ITT (he beat Contador by ~45 seconds in last year's (only 21 miles to this year's 38). This year's ITT is long of the longest in Tour history, so there is huge potential for Porte. Porte's goal just has to be minimizing the damage.

This year's Contador is a much better time-trialist. Porte is nowhere near to Contador in following attacks in the mountain(he's like a stronger version of Cadel Evans). Moreover, Porte isn't the most consistent rider in the peleton so it'll be very hard almost impossible.
P.S Contador's confidence also is enormous. Wink

Wait for the real mountains. All of the 3 riders that are with Contador now have also done the Giro.


Spot on but i must admit its a joyful surprise that Rogers and Roche are pacing like this and particular it was superb they got Nibali isolated with only 1-2 riders to help.

But of course Nibali just wheelsuck , what a terrible rider and undeserving winner if this goes on to the end.


That last part must be pure trolling right? If not then i'm just baffled.


Ya because its not like he does that right. Rolling Eyes


If you are calling Nibali a wheelsucker then you must be new to cycling or just really stupid.
