I know he riding a support role this year for Cadel but given the number of TT km during this year's Tour he could be well placed at the end. Could this be his year? www.1kmtogo.blogspot.com

    Yes.

    And Piranha 3DD can win Best Picture at the Oscars.

    It's not going to happen though.

    Sweet FA about gambling if you're going for an each way bet on such an obvious outsider.

    As for the OP - I've more chance than Tejay and I doubt I'll be on the start line.

    lol don't worry I'll have some sensible bets. I backed Evans last year...

    With all the TT miles who knows what the motorised bike of Cancellara can do

    With all the TTing Wiggins will be a threat, but I still fancy Cuddles.

    Teejay will lose time in the mountains and in the TTs. Top 30 at best.
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Not this year, he's only young still isn't he? About 25? Could be one for the future.

    His riding style reminds me a bit of Evans, so I'm not going to say he's never going to win the Tour, but he does seem to struggle with his climbing when the pressure is really turned on. There are a bunch of other riders around his age who look like better GT prospects at the moment.

    You're right he does seem to struggle when the pressure is really turned on. Tour of California last Sunday was a perfect example. Curious to see how he will handle taking care of Cadel in the mountains at the Tour.
