Expert  950    London, UK |  Subject: TDF Stage 4 PredictionsWhat a great stage today turned out to be. Chapeau to Columbia. Lots of guts there. Let's hope the TTT will be tight. Lance said in his Twiiter that this is VERY technical. What fun. 3 picks for everyone as usual.

Master 1688 ALSAGER, CHESHIRE. UK | Subject: RE: TDF Stage 4 Predictions Come on guys. Stop with the easy option. Three riders. First five in the team crossing the line get the fifth riders time. |

Master 1688 ALSAGER, CHESHIRE. UK | Subject: RE: TDF Stage 4 Predictions Have I chosen wisely? I'm concerned that some riders will give it their all & blow before the end to give their team-mate a better time. I don't like picking for ITT's at the best of times, TTT's are even worse. 1/ Armstrong Contador 2/ Martin 3/ Millar ~ he better not drop off at the end! |

First five in the team crossing the line get the fifth riders time. I think we should do it by teams, otherwise it would be even more boring. So either Lance, Levi, Contador or Astana Columbia Saxo Bank |

Master 1404 Eagle Mountain, Utah | Subject: RE: TDF Stage 4 Predictions I will go with: 1. Astana 2. Saxo 3. Garmin IMO, Garmin and Columbia are going to be close and it could go either way for 3rd. Cancellara is going to be riding his tail off to keep that yellow jersey for another day so I would hate to be on his team cause those guys are going to suffer. And if Astana beats Saxo by more than :40 it is going to be pretty interesting with Armstrong in Yellow but then again the stage may be to short for that to happen, only 39km. |

Champion 6627 Rochester Hills, Michigan Gold member | Subject: RE: TDF Stage 4 Predictions EZ here. The team all get the same time as the first 5. Astana will win the TTT. Therefore, everyone that finishes top 5 in Astana will give you the lowest time. Popo. Lance. Conta. I just gotta hope there's no wreck taking one out. |

Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: TDF Stage 4 Predictions Ugh Im torn right now... I have 4 teams (yes yes Im picking riders) that Im going for.. Columbia, Garmin, CSC and Astana... I dont like Astana so much so lets go.. - Rogers - VandeVelde - Cancellara (Yes I realise based on the prologe leaving of Astana may be the definition of insanity.....) - Armstrong
Im worried Saxobank and Columbia are tired fromyesterday.... Im worried Garmin have been quiet and are targetting this stage.... so I suspect I may come back and change these before the stage starts... |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: TDF Stage 4 Predictions Well, like Rick said, it's a TTT. Which means the first 5 riders in (on each team) will all have the same time. If this was an ITT, I'd go with Cancellera. BUT he needs to stick with his team, so his time will probably be slower than if he was riding alone. Therefore, I'll go with Astana, and pick, um..... 1) Contador (I'm sure he's not happy about Stage 3. So he'll push hard tomorrow.) 2) Leipheimer (I'm sure he's not happy about Stage 3 either.) 3) Armstrong (I'm sure he IS happy about today. AND I think he'd like to gain back time against OK, I'm good with those three.  |

Expert 1168 Lansdale, PA. | Subject: RE: TDF Stage 4 Predictions Not a prediction but I was wondering what the Specialized bike was that was being ridden in the opening TT. I know that bikes are sometimes re-branded for individual preference but why? Specialized has a Tri/TT bike. Does the current bike not meet standards??? |

I know that bikes are sometimes re-branded for individual preference but why? Specialized has a Tri/TT bike. Does the current bike not meet standards??? Just a new bike.. Specialized s-works ttr bike. Just like the trek bike in the tour is different from the trek tri bike on the website. |

It's my age, BTW it's my birthday today so cut me some slack please, I'll accept kisses all round. What little I've got left I've been pulling out trying to figure this stage. If we were picking teams you'd only get one pick. Come on, choosing three teams! There's only four in it. To be proved wrong & made to look a complete fool for saying that. 4everblue - 2009-07-06 10:37 PM Jens - 2009-07-06 10:20 PM Jens, three riders please. You're not going to get away that lightly.
