    The Tour De France begins today....my predictions
    4 riders to watch"
    Chris Froome-Great climber, Great at TT's
    Alberto Contrador-7 time grand tour winner, great climber, good at TT's, trying to do the Double this year (win both the Giro, the tour of Italy and the Tour De France), saying he is retiring next season.
    Vincenzo Nibali-won Le Tour last year after Froome and Contrador both crashed out. Not as good a climber as the other of the BIG 4 but by far the best at descending and also can take advantage on the flats with attacks.
    Nario Quintana-The small Columbian is the best pure climber and decent at TT's. He is only 25 and has already won one Grand tour (Giro).
    These four will battle for the top spot and the podium. My prediction is as follows...
    Froome
    Quintana
    Contrador
    with less than 3 minutes between the three. Could come down to the next to the last stage, stage 20 which finishes upon Alpe d'Huez.
    Parting with tradition we have not only a few black guys to follow this year but also the first ever team from Africa, Team MTN-Qhubeka. One of it's top riders is Daniel Teklehaimanot

    I look for him to attempt to take the best climber jersey with attempts to get into breakaways early in stages.

    Yesterday's opening Time Trial was won by Aussie Rohan Dennis a former World Record holder for the 1 hour TT. Dennis posted a time of 14:56 for the 8.57 mile flat course. All of the overall pre race favorites finished between 40-60 seconds down. I don't plan on updating every day...just when something important happens. See Gunny something even for idiots from OZ.

    I was really hoping you guys would be able to hold off on the "no one cares" posts so TT would be the only one posting in this thread.

    I am disappoint.
