Cyclist Boonen gets shock 11th hour Tour reprieve
MONACO (AFP) — Belgian cycling star Tom Boonen has been granted a shock eleventh hour reprieve to compete in the Tour de France which starts here Saturday, his team confirmed.
Is this why I can't find a start time for the riders tomorrow, they don't know who's riding? Seen the weather forecast? If it rains...... Edited by 4everblue 2009-07-03 10:16 AM |

I wish him well but have my doubts. Cav looks too strong. Hopefully Tom has stashed some where Cav can find it. |

| Master 1831 Keller Tx | Subject: RE: Stage 1 Dave Z. He hasn't thrown it down in a time trial in a while. May now be quite long enough for him though, so my back up will be Cancellara |

| Extreme Veteran 767 Alexandria, VA | Subject: RE: Stage 1 I've wanted to get involved in this thread, but can't say im educated enough to make a real pick, so I'll just throw a name out I haven't heard mentioned much yet. With that said, I'll go with Christian Vande Velde, because thats how I roll. |

Pellizotti & I get a 10 sec. time bonus when they come in in that order 1- Cancellara (I love him I do I do) 2 - Hushovd (history says he does well in the short prologue format) 3 - Lance Armstrong (why not... he is looking FIT and he has one short proloues before)
I was going to go with Rogers... between the two Aussies... but...ummm....he doesnt seem to pull it out in the shorter distances or in grand tours! Edited by kaqphin 2009-07-04 3:55 AM |

Sastre for a TT? Bold choice... even with half of it uphill.. Oh and I mentioned Schleck in one of the other threads... but Im not sure his TT skills are there yet... |
