Hincapie. Oh wait, you said who WAS going to win, not who I’d like to win… nah, that’s no fun. I’m a cycling fan, we specialise in dreams. Like a dope-free Grand Tour.<BR/>the Giro d'Italia – One A. Schleck, the Boy Wonder<BR/>the Tour de France – David Millar (I can dream, and he won’t have to be super-dom for Iban, will he?)<BR/><BR/>If you picked Cadel, will you think he's a shameless undeserving wheel-sucker if he doesn't once attack or take a stage?<BR/>I didn’t pick Cadel but please! just one unexpected flash of brilliance, its all I ask.

NO!<BR/>b) a four-year ban. NO!<BR/>c) a lifetime ban. NO!<BR/>d) a spectacular beat-down by Pat "Dick" McQuaid. YES! and then the results should be posted on youtube for the enjoyment of all like minded cycling sadists.<BR/>e) nuthin'. We heart cheats! BAH!<BR/>with all the dodgey tests / power plays / etc i reckon to ban sdomeone for life is too harsh when they could be innocent.<BR/><BR/>3) Who will win:<BR/>a) Paris-Roubaix - I hope o'grady, because i'm an aussie, even though it not going to happen. Boonen maybe?<BR/>b) the Giro d'Italia - don't know, lack of coverage and info means i know nothing about the race *sigh*<BR/>c) the Tour de France - dunno, don't care. i watch it for magnificent sprints / time trials / climbers and of course the yearly scandal/s. Maybe Cadel but he bette attack dammit!<BR/>i. if you picked Cadel, will you think he's a shameless undeserving wheel-sucker if he doesn't once attack or take a stage? Yes, yes i will.<BR/>d) the Vuelta (like anyone else cares. Dammit!) same as giro sorry rj. i ould care, but that requires effort and it's about time for bed.<BR/><BR/>Night!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
