ProTour Punditry Predictions

[rich p]

Well done, Smutch appreciated mate!
Christ, I'm a know-nothing!

I'm going to be away for 2 weeks from tomorrow but I'm hoping to be wifi-ed up in la belle France. If not I shall miss the first 2 stages of the TdF so I'll pick my jersey men now
GC - Contador
KOM - Rolland
Points - Kittel
LR - the last bloke in the Bretagne Seche listing as supplied by Cyclingnews.com

Last day on French wifi for me so using the formula above my lantern rouge homme is ...
Florian Vachon
Stage1 Kittel
Stage 2 Albasini

 

[The Couch]

p.s. The giro de Feminine thingy - (is Bertie in this one?)
Vos for everything

Put me down for Vos on everything as well
But...to put a little diversification (and usefulness) in the Women Giro, I might put in another day winner when I get something crazy in my head

Like e.g. now Stage 1: Van Dijk

 

[Crackle]

GC Beefy Bert
Points Kittel
KOM Rolland
White Mathews (If we're doing white)
LR jose Serpa

Stage 1 Kittel
stage 2 Degenkolb
stage 3 Greipel

I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

GC - Froome
Green - Sagan
Polka - Rolland
White - Bardet

Stage 1 - Kittel
Stage 2 - Sagan
Stage 3 - Mrk Cvndsh

 

[Dayvo]

Hmmm...

Yellow - Contador
Green - Sagan

the other two I've no idea about.

 

[smutchin]

GC - Froome
Points - Sagan
KOM - Rolland
Lanterne Rouge - Danny van Poppel

Stage 1 - Cav

I had wondered whether we should do the white jersey as well for this one, so since everyone is making a prediction for it anyway, why not...

White - Talansky

 

[smutchin]

Oh, and there's a prize for the winner of the TdF predictions mini-league - a copy of Rob Hayles' autobiography Easy Rider.

I'll throw in a "once read" copy of "Reckless - The life and times of Louis Ocana" for the Lantern Rouge of the predictions. It's not that good. Not quite as bad as some books I have read but worthy of the Lantern Rouge prize.

What's the age for white jersey contenders? Is there a list somewhere?

under 26. Which is not very young.
There are various "White Jersey contenders" lists cluttering the interweb.

My Predictions

GC: Froome
KOM Pichot
Green; Sagan
White: KWIATKOWSKI
LR: Machado

Stage 1: Cav
Stage 2 Yates
Stage 3 Kitel

I think, but Cav and Kittel are interchangeable.

 

[themosquitoking]

Right not that drunk even yet but here goes
Yellow - Contador
Green - Sagan
KOM - J Rod
White - Kwiatkowski
LR - Svein Tuft

Stage 1 - Kittel

if it all ends badly blame it on my inability to properly let the beer take effect.

I was torn between Cav and Kittel for stage 1, it's going to be a belter of a finish tomorrow.
