Gilbert will continue to dominate the classics, but won't win the Paris Roubaix, instead the Paris Roubaix will be won by Cancellara.
Andy Schleck won't win the tour and will finish outside the podium, Alberto Contador won't win the Tour, if he doesn't get ban and Cadel Evans will win again.
Cobo will win the Vuelta again.
Froome, Rolland and Voeckler won't repeat the achievements of 2011.
Valverde will become a helper instead of leader.
Pozzato will be back with good results.
Gilbert will win the WC and Martin will defend his WC TT title.
Only one right! |

The Rolland and Voeckler parts were right. |

?
Rolland won another Tour stage, and finished better overall than last year.

But Rolland did repeat his achievements from 2011.

I don't know. I don't feel like he did. Maybe it's unfair, but I don't feel like he was as consistently present in the front group up the climbs, and that was with a weaker field than last year. Also, his victory was out of a breakaway, not outdueling Contador and Samu up L'Alpe d'Huez.
It's probably a little unfair, but from the eye test I don't think he did as well this year as opposed to last. It was a small regression I guess though... |

He was with the best in all mountain stages except the Bagnères-de-Luchon one. He also suffered in the Planche des Belles Filles, but still finished 7th. He was very good, really, and in a route which didn't suit him at all.

Plus, he lost several minutes on the stage to Metz, after being held up in that huge crash. He would've been sixth overall if it wasn't for that accident.

True, but for whatever reason I just didn't feel like he was as impressive watching it. It's entirely subjective, but I still feel that way... |

Obviously all my predictions were 100% correct, I just forgot to post them here in January.

To be fair, you probably claimed Hesjedal would win a Grand Tour at some point or another - we just ignored you.  |
