So who ya got winning? And who ya got turning in enriched pee?

Most talk seems to again surround Contador and Andy but I'm curious who else you guys think can break through. Levi? Wiggo is apparently primed and ready.

Also is it correct that both Hushod and Farrar are on Garmin now? how's that gonna work? Will Cavendish dominate the sprints again?
 
He's alive!!! 😀

I got Andy, but what do I know about bicycles???

However, I think the crowd here will be cheering for Tom Danielson

now lemme go back to the WC thread. :popcorn:
 
I dont think that anyone is going to be able to compete with Alberto and Andy. Honestly I think Andy will still be a few seconds back when its all said and done. I like the new format of the sprints should make things fun.

Bring it on!

Hey, please explain the new format. I hibernate all year and come out to see the world for the Tour 🙂

Danielson looks like an east coast MTB guy and he's doing his first Tour? Awesome! I'll root for him.
 
What's the new format, Fred?

If the TommyD stuff creeps outside of the other thread, the Reaper comes out.

No, he's a sock puppet of one of the goofballs on another thread. It's a contained CF now but if he tries to break out of the containment...
 
It looks like Danielson has done well at the Vuelta in years' past. I'm surprised he's just getting his Tour invitation now.

Will Vande Velde never be a GC threat again? Seemed like he was poised for a run once or twice. How about Horner?
 
The 2011 Tour de France Android app is good to have btw. It's not robust, but 99 cents gets you stage maps, wallpapers and updates and such.
 
Spoilers, don't read below:







Did the breakaway get broken up after the 5k mark? That crappy link Pearl posted* kept breaking up on me, can't figure it out now.

Edit: Guess it did, based on that finish.

I watch the live Eurosport feed of each days stage on my phone. It has Sean Kelly doing analysis. All I need now is a mini hdmi cable to run it through the tv and I'll be all set!

Good finish today!

So Evans got taken out by a motorcycle and then comes back to win it? Sick.

Looking forward to the replay.

I thought he just went to the side and the motorcycle went down while trying to get the shot. There was confusion at the time and they never really followed up.

Awesome finish today.

You may be right. I was watching on my phone and just saw the motorcycle on the ground, then Evans having to catch up to his teammates.

what about the spoliers a-hole?

I watched via one of al's links. Was choppy, but was good enough for work since 95% of the sites are blocked. In any case, not that it mattered for GC, but glad contador got stuffed at the line. He has gots to be pissed now, so watch out. I am hoping trhe Giro Tour double hurts him, but I have a feeling he will pull it off. I can handle contador winning as long as that douche farrar doesn't win another stage. One was ok for his fallen friend, but two....

I'm watching the tour from the NBC "TDF All Access" app on my iPad. I'm not really around in the mornings to watch it live ($14.99) but the free highlight videos and info on riders/stages/standings is great. Personally, I just like saying "Leeevi Leipheimer" and "Cancellaaara!" Have fun watching everyone. I miss Lance. 🙂
