 Austin, Texas or Jupiter, Florida |  Subject: TDF STAGE 17- PredictionsStarted this thread because of this article. Man, that sucks so bad. I take back any hope that he'll finish the tour and just hope he'll be able to walk again. Unconscious for 3-4 minutes. That was a serious crash and going 45-50 mph. That's like jumping out of your car and doing a face-plant! http://tour-de-france.velonews.com/article/95591/voigt-injured-in-crash Get well soon Jens!!! |

Master 1688 ALSAGER, CHESHIRE. UK | Subject: RE: TDF STAGE 17- Predictions Now back to the next Stage after yesterday's amazing pick. Gloat.! Me? CHR15 when you pick a Schleck, tell us which one please. I know you're trying to get away with choosing four riders but you ain't gonna get away with it. BTW is this Mikel Astarloza's older brother?

Champion 6627 Rochester Hills, Michigan Gold member | Subject: RE: TDF STAGE 17- Predictions Contador. Pellizotti. Wiggins. Strongest 3 riders in the tour, they'll need it. No way Astana lets a Schleck get away, as we saw today. Honorable mention to Bride Feillu. Rule out Martinex and Tkxurra (sp) as they won't take KOM points from a teammate. Juan Manuel Garate could also figure...this is the kind of stage where he could disappear into the distance and no one would care. |

While they both have a ktut. I think the guy on the left wears the ktut better... Chris' picks: -Schleck -Fellieu -Sorensen (total of 6)... |

No way Astana lets a Schleck get away, as we saw today. Rick, I had Txurruka pencilled in overnight then read your comment which immediately put some doubt in my mind. Hmmm! There again wouldn't he be taking points away from his teammates rival. And which teammate. Martinez has 101pts & Astarloza 86 pts. Oh these Basques are so hard to choose from. Txurruka came in 24mins down yesterday, was that due to him going to have a big effort today or is he knackered?Honorable mention to Bride Feillu. Rule out Martinex and Tkxurra (sp) as they won't take KOM points from a teammate. Juan Manuel Garate could also figure...this is the kind of stage where he could disappear into the distance and no one would care. And I do like your thinking on Garate. I have him & Pineau on my short list. Pellizotti just has to mark his rivals in my view. Sanchez & Nibali are on my list too. I need to go away & find a pin. |

| Expert 950 London, UK | Subject: RE: TDF STAGE 17- Predictions This could be one for a long escape gaining serious time. Or it could just be Saxobank keeping the tempo HIGH to see if they can break Bertie (not likely the way he was dancing on the pedals when Andy attacked yesterday) WIGGO!!!!! Chavanel (Time to give Quick Step something to cheer about) Igor Anton Hernandez (He's Spanish. He can climb. No GC or KOM hopes.) I also fancied Van Den Broeck, now that he doen't have to wait for Limpet anymore. Just think he might be too high in GC to be given enough slack. I dunno. Will be fun. That's all I know. |

He's been one of the first passengers on the Autobus on most of the mountain stages. But I like your optimism We'll miss you today. You're not watching it with Bike Boy are you? |

She much prefers us MEN. Either Limpet's lack of a team around him has got into her head with today's picks or she's thinking about tonight. Surprised she didn't go for my new mate Kenny Van Hummel. BTW I got rid of the lanterne rogue yesterday. Artemis has it now. I'm even in front of you. What's wrong? Three weeks to much for you. I'm just getting my 'legs'. Yellow Jersey here I come.kaqphin - 2009-07-22 9:56 AM I dont really know who to pick today... Contador - duh!
