So Q, is it a 2 horse race or do Nibali and Valverde have a shot?
Also, who do you think has the better team Froome or Contador?
anyone has a shot, porte's a great lieutenant but contador is a much better rider than froome imo. froome is a beast, no doubt, but contador is savvy as they come
nibali can't be counted out, is a better TT rider than valverde...but that is out the window as valverde just won the spanish TT championship, lol.
saxo probably stronger than sky for mine, mick rogers and contador together, plus roche and majka just shades sky
I'll tip Nibali. Bloke has mad bike handling skills.
Cobbles!!!!!!
Lovely day for a ride.
Froome looks like Rocky Balboa half way through his fight with Drago.
........and now he looks like Apollo Creed at the end of his fight with Drago
"THROW THE DAMN TOWEL"
nibali looked pretty comfortable, has always been a great descender, solid performance today on some honkin' roads
froome nothing to complain about, stacked it on the tarmac lol. the cobbles are a great addition, takes more than just pure vo2 max to win, you have to be able to ride as well
dunster on the hot tip if he can hold off contador's attacks in the mountains, that is if contador can make up the time gap
pete sagan in a good position too

froome out of the world cup
...in solidarity with his footballing brethren.
kenya didn't make it
Carnage.
Contador.
Is Porte now any chance at all Q-man?
who knows lol
terrain coming up suits porte but nibali looked pretty farken good last night, and looks in devastatingly good form
I'd be putting my money on Nibali at this point. He is looking really good, and the team seems very strong, but with so many big names out and with such a hilly tour, I can see attacks coming from all over the place and succeeding with big time gaps.
I don't think Porte will win this tour, but a podium will elevate is profile with other teams and do his career no harm at all. Its his chance to really make a name of himself and he seems to be grabbing it.
What's Nibali like in the time trials?
I don't think the time trial will decide this tour. It will be done and dusted one way or another in the mountains.
The tour proper starts tonight with the first of the alpine stages. I'm hoping Nibali sorts out Porte now rather than waiting for the Pyrenees .
Porte might be Australian and all but he's also a former triathlete so he gets no love from me.
Now there have been some almighty fueds on the Foz over the years (La Baz v Gallaway, Thomas v Middleby, MFKS v everything) but Dunster v the Australian Triathalon association has the potential to be the best of the bunch.
Power bracelets, inability to ride in a group... and the list goes on.
