Can't wait to see the likes of Matty Goss, Baden Cooke, Stuey O et al take the tour head on with Greenedge.
In other news looks as though Lance Armstrong is in the spotlight yet again.. Lance has been one of my sporting hero's since he won his 3RD straight tour and it's getting tiresome, the constant back and forth of USADA... Regardless of what many think, he is and will forever be one of the greatest cyclist of all time; right up there with the likes of Eddy Merckx and Gino Bartali |
I thought I was the only one here who keeps an eye on the pro cycling tours. haha.
I have spent many late nights watching the likes of the Giro, Dauphine, Tour de Suisse, and a lot of other tours leading up to the TDF. I must say it's becoming a habit to watch as much cycling as much as V8/F1 racing. LOL
I too was shocked to hear of Andy not participating in this years TDF. But on the other hand I think it may add in Cadel's favor. I reckon it will be a tussle between Cadel and Wiggins, mixed in with the likes of Basso, and some sprint finishes by The Cav. Also keeping an eye on Voekel as he was strong last year, but not sure if he will be strong enough to hold out for the entire GC.
Im gonna do the velogames tipping this year. Would be cool to have a few of you guys to join as well for a bit of fun.
