Hi there!

I´ve been watching the tour every day since it started.
I´m hooked and have been since the Lance Armstrong era. (armstrong rules)

Do you watch it, and if you do who´s is your favorite rider?
Who do you think will win the Tour this year?

I think the little danish chicken Rasmusen has a good chance!!!!

These doped sweaty fags in pink panty riding their SM machines are a disgrace to sport at large.
Every year, there's an announcement that all contestants are clean and 6 months later, they're all proven to be doped.
Armstrong FTW ? Not exactly. "Mr 1-ball-left, EPO & Steroids FTW" is the correct sentence..

Evans or rasmussen. Depending on his last individual time attack. Pretty exciting, and belgium isn't doing that bad. Tom Boonen Ftw (and steegmans, our new relevation)

Rasmussen will fail in the last time trial.I hope Contador wins this year.
And hopefully Belgium will have the green jersey with Tom Boonen

it's damn annoying to me to see them riding plus it's almost everyday and I have something else to do than wasting my time watching TV all the afternoon.

however they are NOT more drugs addict than other pros in other sports... if we controled as much footballers as bicycle riders, there wouldn't get any footballer able to play anymore since they're all dopped as shit.

the onely reason for that is, because you dont want a dutch team to win the tour. I think today contador will be put on great ditance by the raboteam.

Can't say I bother to watch every minute of every stage but I make sure I get to know who won etc. my favorites are ofc Thor Hushovd (CA) and Kurt Asle Arvesen (CSC), Norwegians you know

Jersey guesses:

Yellow: Rasmussen
Climbing (or whatever you call it in English): Rasmussen
Green: Boonen
Youth: Gerdemann (or what he is called), he put himself in a really good position on the stage he won, and I'll guess he'll make it.

No, I don't care whether a Dutch team wins or not, I don't have a problem with the dutchies . All I'm saying is, if you look at Rasmussen's time trial history, he blows! Contador is above average in time trials and is also a true climber just like Rasmussen (look at yesterday's stage!).

I've been following it this year. (I ignored it last year because I was disillusioned by the drug scandals.) It looks like it could be close until the last time trial. There wasn't too much suspense in the Lance Armstrong era, so this is more interesting.

Although I think every sport has tons of players who use drugs, I think drugs are worse in cycling because there isn't much eye-hand coordination required. In baseball or soccer/football, you have to have incredible skill, not just strength and endurance, so drugs don't make as much of a difference.

OMG, how ironic that statments like this are being made on a forum (A FORUM) dedicated to people who are so into their computer games they have to share their opinions and stories with other like minded people.
Personally I don't think any of us has the right to slag off any sport that actually involves leaving the house!

Well after today, I liked what vino did, but he will not win anymore.
Youth will be contador, I don't think Gerdemann will pass that guy anymore.
Green: boonen without accidents.
Climbing: still close, maybe soler if he goes for it.
Yellow: Evans disappointed me today, will probably be Rasmussen or Contador.
