Le Tour de France 2006

[TurboSmoke]

Can you predict a winner?
we have many great up and coming riders this years and its a pretty wide open field. Smart money may be on CSC rider Ivan Basso, second in le tour last year. Or how about Ullrich, can he pull off a second win now that Armstrong is no longer with the Discovery team? Some people say Phonak rider Floyd Landis is in for a podium finish.

I am going against all odds and picking

1. Ullrich
2. Basso
3. Vinokourov

I like Ullrich the Hammerhead

if he can get rid of his winter gut he'll stand a good chance..

personally i think he'll go for the number 1 spot. He is near retirement and with Armstrong out of the way, this could be his only chance to get another TDF win.

After all of the unsuccessful attempts to sully Lance Armstrong's name with doping allegations...

Doping Scandal Rocks Tour de France

So, there go the top contenders.... Now who will inherit the throne?

Oh, wonderful, there goes the whole party. Poo.

Although it does make Lance’s achievements stand out even more – he’s been attacked like mad (especially by the French), yet it’s a whole bunch of people below him who now get suspended, while he’s still clean.

Hmm, I'm a bit out of touch with this great human endeavour...

Miguel Indurain?

Le Tour this year is going to be the mostest weirdest ever !...

Sucks though as I'm a big Le Tour fan - Doped or not...

 

[Sage]

You being the doped one or the athletes?

 

[Master_Yoda]

Lance is still going to win this year!

Floyd Landis should make a good chance although he yesterday released the news of a hip operation which he decides to take after the Tour...


Personal favorit, definitly Tom Boonen
