Default OT: Predictions for TdF

I know there are a few closet roadies / TdF lovers here.
Lance to win again, or someone else to usurp him?

Won't be Lance. Every athlete fails when they bed a pretty
starlett (aka Sheryl Crow).

Rooting for anyone else but Lance. Realistically speaking
though, hard to see him losing. Will be interesting to see
what Ullrich, Hamilton and Mayo can do. Too bad Vinokourov
is out, Ullrich could have used him in the hills. Wonder why
T-Mobile left Evans off the team.

Cheers, Alvin Liau

Then he should do fine, Sheryl Crow is a lipless busted
looking sorry excuse for a woman. And her music sucks.

But on a cycling related note, I'd love to see Lance
win another, but I'm excited to see what a healthy
Hamilton can do.

I'd like to see OLN do live webcasts for at least a few of
the stages, after all, I still have to show up at work.

Let me pull out the crystal ball...

The biggest news of the year is that Vino is out. I think
that's the break LA needed to pull out #6. It will be an
ugly win because of the strength of the field.

LA JU TH

I think the stronger teams are really going to try and tear
it apart if there is a crosswind or on the cobbles to make
up for the handicapped TTT.

My crystal ball goes blank... it's like that. Not very
reliable. For example, it never even mentioned Cunego
outside of a mountain stage in the Giro this year.

BTW, the sprints will be for Petacchi's wheel, but you don't
need a crystal ball for that!

Yep, I think Hamilton will spoil the party for Lance.

Taking fourth last year after breaking his collarbone
certainly makes it sound possible. His long escape for a
solo win, even though the pack tried to close it down, shows
he's got the motor.

Ullrich is probably the most naturally gifted rider, and can
never be counted out.

It all comes down to who wants it the most.

Quite. What a fully fit Hamilton can do is anyone's guess.
I've got money on him to win, and a small each way on Heras.

I wouldn't mind seeing Lance win, but Tyler really deserves
it IMO. He seems like such a nice guy too.

Depends on how much Jan has been partying over the past
year. I wouldn't be disappointed to see him win either. It's
not like anyone who wins is going to end up wining by being
lazy or anything. I'm just psyched for a good contest. I
want to see more 'cross style tour. That was exciting!

And who has the best team - plus a little luck doesn't
hurt either.

My shitty ass cable provider, Charter, doesn't carry OLN in
my neighborhood. They carry it in every other Charter area
around here but

He clearly sounded as if he was acknowledging this this TdF
wouldn't be his during a press conference played on the
Lance Chronicles (I only watched 5 minutes, honest!)

It's definitely not going to be Millar.... Last year I was
rooting for Tyler. This year, go Lance! /s

DirecTV baby, switched a year ago and never looked back.
Higher quality then digital cable and cheaper to boot.
