tour de france 2008 predictionz
i'm out uv town until tomorrow mornin... so expect more coverage here once i'm behind my own computa. i wantd 2 lok in sum quik predictionz before i got
as there not much point 2 makin predictionz afta fact -- even if that do improve their accuracy.
much iz bein made uv
rulez n layout 2 thiz year course -- no tiem bonusez... no prologue... earli but short first tiem trial. peloton haz been risk averse in past when confrontd wit
strategic optionz in past... so i'm guessin that we goin 2 see sum prettee tame gc racin 2 start thing off. instead... i'm expectin likez uv fabian cancellara 2 don yellow jersey once more by eitha takin stage 1 on flier ( art he continued 2 perfect thiz year) or winnin first tiem trial. garmin-chipotle could also try n enta thiz fray. team faded quiet bit durin giro... so i'm expectin their strikez 2 come earli. david milar may not b final 5k masta that cancellara iz... but he can run break n laydown tiem trial... so earli yellow jerseys r within hiz reach.
it not b until stage 10 that we'll get real look at our gc contenda... which should create trouble 4 teamz tryin 2 protect both gc n sprinta interes -- mcewen n evanz 4 lotto... freire n menchov 4 rabobank... kirchen n cavendish 4 columbia... hunta n sola 4 barloworld... n so on. hushovd could has nice run earli on.
my crystal ball iz increasingli hazy in middle weekz but at end i see alejandro valverde emergin wit overall. he hasn't had bes record at tour... but unlike otha big favoriet... cadel evanz... he do has betta instinct 4 top uv podium. evanz always seemz more content 2 follow n hope that person ahead wil falta. i see carlos sastre takin final spot on podium... mainli coz he haz that sort uv consistency. i'm hopin lak uv sastre news meanz he been savin himself well 4 juli. i'm tappin him ova menchov mainli coz i see csc/saxo as stronga team.
that all pontificatin i has 4 now. hopefulli i laid down enough txt that i can at sum point in future pretend 2 has been rite.
