Tour de France tips

Hi guys. I'm just wondering who you are all tipping for the Tour de France jerseys this year. Can I have your top 10 for the yellow jersey and 5 for the green jerseys. ....
Also, who do you think is likely to rack up stage wins this year? Thanks again. 🙂

good list, i really have no idea...i'll go with armstrong again...safe money...so its £1,000 for an armstrong win...

btw, there is a TDF forum...(okay, now i am a jackass for pointing that out!)

Nice list, but I thought you were going to give me tips on how to win the TDF?! False advertising!

I think you could slot Cadel Evans in there somewhere. Other than that it is a reasonable list. Basso will win by 4 minutes.

Nice list but I would put Landis a bit higher than that...not that I like him or anything.

1st. Ivan Basso
2. Vinokourov (If his team can support him)
3.Ulrich (the big German will make a strong come back)
4.Landis
5.Valverde
6.Popovych
7. Botero

I asked Eddy Merckx a couple of years ago, he asked me: "Do you have a bike". So i guess that should be enough..😄

I"d put Boonen at the top of the sprinters list. The way he's been winning this year, unless he crashes I'd say he's in great form.
And Basso looks great!

I'm cheering for Vinokourov but my money is on Ivan Basso.
