Giro: Simoni Tour: Armstrong Vuelta: Heras |

Giro: Bradley Wiggins
TDF: David Millar Vuelta: Charly Wegelius They'll be waving the Union Jacks in Newport all year! (sorry, turned into David Duffield for a minute there) I meant to say... Giro: Simoni (unimaginative, I know but I can't see anyone else winning it) TDF: Tough to call... Ullrich maybe. Vuelta: Valverde or Heras. Depends whether Manolo still wants it. |

My guesses?
Giro- Simoni Tour- Ullrich Vuelta- Nozal Interesting that Simoni gets the nod so frequently here, but often gets a lot of flack in other threads. I think he ranks among the top ten stage racers currently. The other nine care only about the tour. Ullrich is still a little shady. I'm not sure what to expect, but he seems to have turned a corner... Nozal came so close last year, he might just have a good shot this year. Anybody notice how the grand tour podiums have united on the same teams this year? (Ullrich-Vinokourov, Heras-Nozal) |

Giro - Simoni
TDF- No idea, but if I would pick anyone it would be Armstrong Vuelta - Valverde... or Beloki if he isn't ready for the TDF

Giro- it has to be SIMONI, he is too dominant in the Giro.
TDF- Armstrong, the guy is just unstoppable, and i say that not at all being a fan of his. Vuelta- THis is the tough one, i think it'll be the closest, Beloki/Heras/Valverde/Nozal all fighting it out but, if he partakes how about MAYO, he'd be my pick. |

Giro - Popovych
TDF - Ullrich Vuelta - Nozal Simoni has not picked up the pace so far in the early part of this season, maybe he and the Saeco team are targeting the Tour more than the Giro this year. Yaroslav Popovych to win closely followed by Garzelli. The Tour will be won by Ullrich convincingly in the Time Trials and he keeps pace with Armstrong and co in the mountains. Lance cracks however and finishes down on GC, a bit like Indurain in '96. Tyler Hamilton to finish second followed by Simoni who will lose out in the time trials. The Vuelta will be won by Isidro Nozal, he will want to improve on last years second place, will show Manolo Saiz that he can challenge for the Tour in 2005. He will be pushed hard by Roberto Heras and also the impressive Alejandro Valverde. |
