Tour de France 2013

Chris Froome all the way. Go on, bet against me....
Of course there's always that guy who wants to see the favorite win.
I may have to pay attention this year...
He is the one who looks like a skeleton, just less personality. He probably can't outclimb the Spanish mountain goats in explosiveness, but can diesel it up at a high pace with some pop.
I'd probably guess Contador for the win. His worst TdF was due to a lack of support and coming off a Giro win. He doesn't race for a year and takes a Vuelta.
Good thing I'm not a betting man because I probably just jinxed him.
It'll be interesting to see the battle for the green jersey. Cav will be fully supported this year. Sagan isn't as good in a bunch sprint, but much more versatile.

Yep , interesting green jersey battle to come !
Love Sagan , have you guys seen his "Parking my bike" video ?
For the overall title , hard to tell , probably the guy in the team with the best pharmacist.
Before it all starts...what's the rule here this year with spoilers? Obviously being a Brit I'll see it as it happens, but a few yanks got a bit tetchy last year when I occasionally - albeit inadvertently - gave away a few stories on the odd day.
Happy to just sit back and read if the hardcore cycle fans want to catch up before posting....

(shrugs) perhaps give a day for people to see it? RBR has a bunch of pricks who put the results in the thread title, which means you're likely to see results simply by visiting the forum.
No worries. I know there are more TB guys over the water watching this than Brits, so I shall refrain from giving anything away.
LOL, not sure how much it matters since most cable companies are charging to watch it. I'm probably not watching it until I can get it for a decent price on Blu Ray. Trying to ride outside as much as possible these days.

I have a standing no-yellow wearing rule. Yellow must be earned. Therefore, I never wear yellow with my skills.
