! week to go to Le Tour, Millar and Wiggins are in and will fight for the prologue - Millar to win, Geraint Thomas will hopefully be in Stage 1's breakaway, which will be caught allowing Cavendish to win the sprint snd gain the yellow jersey due to time bonuses. Thomas will be in the Polka-dot jersey having won the mountain sprints when in the break.
Oh and theres rumours that Wegelius may ride the tour.

that's tough for Weglius if he does, he rides the Giro and the Tour (i know many other people do, but he has never done something like this)
in my opinion it's slightly too short for Millar so i think it'll be a Wiggins victory (especially since he grew up there and rode the rout every day, so he knows it like the back of his hand)
also going for a Cav win, and i hope Thomas is involved somewhere |

it's actually kind of bad that they're saying that. not that it's bad to be optimistic, but they're really setting themselves for a big disappointment

to be honest i'm slightly concerned about the riders safety during the 3 days they're in London, with last weeks terrorist attaks and all
i'm sure there will be high security, especially now security levels have been upped to critical, but there is a slight wonder whether any of these nutters will try anything with hundreds of thousands/millions of people all gathered watching the same thing

I hate those chicken-hearted things. I will be furious if those happens inside home..home city.
Some people have asked why you estonians hate russians...because they are animals. They can live next to you 40 years..but if they find a way to act like animal they to..they spit on your face and call you fashist..
Ok enough about politics..bad subject

I'm happy I live in such a calm and tolerant country in terms of religion, race, etc. I've been to several countries abroad...most are scary...and I've never even left Europe (well...morocco twice....but that hardly counts)
even next door in Spain they keep picking at each other about how they're all different from each other. "you're from Valencia, I'm from Murcia...we are completely different"
funny thing is...we can't tell the difference....not even in their accents

It doesn't matter. Britain is beginning to win the war on terror. Look at the fertiliser bomb plots, we watched them for ages. The Jeep driving into Glasgow airport was stopped because the airports are designed to resist that. We have now caught a lot of high profile terrorists, and we're starting to produce the technology to stop them. I don't think their will be an attack in London, and if their is an attempt, the terrorists will either be stopped, or as they have done recently, fail through poor planning. I hope it doesn't come to that, the police are now beginning to win, and let it stay that way forever.
Back on topic, Go Cavendish, Millar and Wiggins - wins in London please

thankfully your costums aren't as paranoid as some I've gone through
"What did you say your name was?"
"Said Haddou"
"Said?"
"yes. I'm a cyclist"
"Suuuuure you are....guess what...you've been randomly selected for a cavity search..."

Cavendish winning a stage is wishful thinking. Wiggins winning the prologue is blind, insane optimism.
but this.... this is far more out there
whatever it is you've been smoking....I want some of it...
