Pro Tour Pundit : Dauphine Libere

Unknown · June 2007

Here we go again. Will I embarrass myself again and get a pathetic score? Hope not as this is one of my favourite races.

At last! FdeJ have put out a half decent team - good to see Gilbert listed as riding. [:)] I also spied a CA version of the 2007 yellow jersey being sold by prendas - looking at their lineup I would say "wishful thinking" in the extreme [;)]

Sorry, haven't decided yet, but thought I'd just have a chat. [:)]

Hi there.

I haven't figured this one out yet either, but I've an email from afx saying that he wants Kloden for the GC. So that's his vote in then.

Cheers, Andy

Hmm I'll have Alberto Contador for GC.

Gragi · June 2007

IS Kloeden riding? Couldn't see him in the list of riders on the official web-site. I'm going to be boring and go for Vinokourov

Overall: Cadel Evans

I know he's old but..

GC: Moreau

Prologue: Millar

I notice T-Mob have become 'Team Aldag'; on C4All...!

Did you get planning permission for that sense of humour bypass?

ContrelaMontre · June 2007

Let's see if this clean PTP works.

GC: Fabian Wegmann
Prologue: Bradley Wiggins - I know there is a lot of debate about him, but he is supposed to be the fastest in the world over 4k
Stage 1: Philippe Gilbert

Now watch me get laughed out of the (virtual) town for such idealism!

I hope all these guys start as I'm going to be away for the weekend so it's unlikely I'll be able to make amendments.

Herd of gnus?
No! What's the news?

I know you were just waiting to see my picks! Well now I've gone for a few ousiders perhaps you've got a chance to catch up in PBL (Pink Bananaguard League) by picking those with the different bread and water suppliers![;)][}:)]

I was looking at Wegmann as an option for GC as well. Seriously. But now I'll have to change. [;)]

I notice there are several discrepancies between the rider listing on the C4All site and the official site.............probably the official start list is the one to go with.........no need to decipher the "dodgy teams" either:

The PBL could look a lot different in a week or so's time! Controversially different choices, not like the Giro!

Anyway, I'm off for a weekend climbing on the sunny Dorset coast, so have fun without me!

Hmm, what smiley would be appropriate?

Lots of these I think...
