OT: 2017 Tour de France

[jghall]

Know this place is more of the Classics and some of the other grand eventsplace, but I like the Tour too. Apologies if someone already started this, but with it being a week away, any takers on the winner.

If someone more intelligent than wants to make this a poll, much thanks.

Since I threw it out here, I'll go first. Mild upset; Richie.

[PQJ]

Although I believe it highly unlikely, Contador emerges victorious in his swan song.

[guido]

I vote for Contador too. Man has class.

[Black Dog]

I will bet a spanish steak that Contador wins.

[cadence90]

I would like Aru, but don't think he will. Today was nice though.



Bardet is a strong contender this year, I think.

It would be cool if Voeckler were to find a way to win on July 14 in his swan song.


Why is this thread "OT"?

That would be quite the feat indeed, to win with bib #2301.

I'll 2nd the Porte pick. He's been steadily coming good.

And ,, there's something to be said for the best time trialing as a team, year in and year out.

My dark horse pick ---- Fuglsang, but Astana will have to have the horses to support him.

Mike in AR

Save a spot for him on your couch, because that's the only place TD will be "in the Tour" this year.

Besides, fear not...if your heart is really set on cheering for a Dumoulin, Sam "No Relation" Dumoulin is on the start list, for AG2R La Mondiale!

With Porte being the BMC gc hopeful GVA might be on a short leash but I hope they let him collect at least one stage. After the classics season he has had he deserves it.

Me too. Anyone but Froomester

[Llewellyn]

As an Aussie I'm going for Porte and I think he might actually be in with a decent crack at GC. But to be quite honest as long as it's anyone apart from Froome I don't mind who wins.
