Le Tour De France

Who do you have?

I hate Kim Kirchen, he is a total tool. I hope Cadel Evans takes the GC when all is said and done.

Lol I was going to post this a while back but I thought it was going to get the same response as my Euro 08 thread. Here's my thoughts:

Rooting for:
For the first time this year I'm not rooting for anyone in particular (Obviously I rooted for Lance when he was in it, then Landis , and then Kloden and Gerdemann). I want Vandevelde to do well obviously, he's been good so far. I like Schleck and Lovquist for white. For the green jersey I always cheer for McEwen and for the mountains I used to like Rasmussen , maybe one of the Schleck brothers will take it this year.

Potential Dopers:
-Riccardo Ricco (97th to contender and one of the best climbers in the world in one year? No way)
-Carlos Sastre, Cadel Evans (both were contenders during the era)

Questions:
-Why didn't Team Columbia take Gerdemann (winner of a big stage last year)?
-Why did everyone move to Astana? They're clearly the most iffy team when it comes to doping, that's just asking for a ban.

Predictions:
Cadel Evans takes Yellow, Ricardo Ricco takes White, Mark Cavendish takes Green, and Frank Schleck takes Red Dotted.

i watched the tour today on the elliptical. didn't really pay attention.
my dad, a cyclist turned triathlete is really into it.

what channel is it on?

Versus

ehh haven't been paying much attention to it. everyone around here is riding their bikes though because of it lol.

no one is riding bikes around here....they could be just not through my subdivision. which is likely.

i'm gonna cheer for the guy in second, cuz the guy in the lead has to be doping.
