I'm tipping Ullrich, Vinokourov or Armstrong, they'll be first second and third the question is.....what order?

cheers

im scottish so its gotta be dave millar - lets hope he uses a front mech this time

ullrich rode well in the prologue too - plus hes an excellent time trialler, and you cant rule lance off - especially since he hasnt won a stage yet.

i reckon whoever wins will probably only get around a minute on their rivals since its a fairly short time trial

Reckon Lance is gonna take out between 1 - 1 1/2 min. out on the rest.
2nd??? Jan, but that is more in hope to give Lance someone to worry about.
3rd? Belo...ny only 1st counts in any case!

Stage looks like this.

 

[Seraphim]

What about Botero and Moreau>

I hope for at least two top-ten rankings for them- I've put them in my list of fifteen for my work's Tour-poll (VERY popular all over Holland).

But for 1st place: I think Armstrong, I hope Vino or Ullrich.

have fun!

Vino for me!

Hey, that's not a nice way to greet a new member.

I don't think I like you much, claggy.

 

[Brown Bomber]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this. Please make me feel welcome. What stage is 12, I'm a little lost?

 

[Brown Bomber]

Vino is class Manx but what about Vedi and Vichi

 

[ManxRed]

Does anyone remember Concorde Vino?

It used to be 99p a bottle and was de rigeur for student parties!

Ah, memories...

Should we have a points system, depending on the accuracy of our predictions?

10 points for getting the stage winner, and 5 points for each of the goalscorers. At the end we can tot up the points and see who wins.

I'll happily keep score.

Jan Ullrich (BIA), 58:32
Lance Armstrong (USP), 01:35
Alexandre Vinokourov (TEL), 02:05
Haimar Zubeldia (EUS), 02:39
Tyler Hamilton (CSC), 02:42

Ullrich moves into second place overall, 34" behind Armstrong, and Vinokourov drops to third, but still within a minute.
