Tour de France Genie

cougie

Really dont get people wishing harm on others. It's only cycling - I thought we were better than that.

Genie - if you could arrange the weather to be great in Yorkshire and for me to get a table in Bettys in Harrogate - that would make my Tour.

Thanks

Enraged by this, he will jump back on his bike and chase back to the leaders group before charging past them to take the stage win (and yellow jersey) whilst in the proper colours of the tricolore.

Thanks.

Yeah, his national champs kit is a bit pony

Cav to take yellow on stage 1
A proper GC scrap with Purito winning
No doping scandals
Le Gendarmerie to shoot any fan who runs alongside the riders/pushes riders/takes a dog/generally annoys

Now that's the understatement of the year.

I too would like to recommend Iain's wish. No need for those sort of shenanigans. No need.

Speaking of Pony, I'll put a local horse update on now as I'm off t'up North and the new bike radar doesn't work on my phone.

Coach H

I would like to see Adam Hansen supping from a pint of Theaksons Old Peculiar on Holm Moss (as per Alp d'Huez pint of lager)

mulletmaster

I wish to learn lots about English and frnech regional cheese, geology and local horses.

SCR Pedro

I would like to see Froome take a wrong turn after trying to get back onto the back after a spill and turning up 15 years later looking like a mad eccentric frenchman. I would also like to see the Schlecks light it up and duel with the GC favourites. I would also like to see a mad spectator in team kit taking a stage win.

That's a lovely pony.

takethehighroad

To see Mark Cavendish in person in the Yellow Jersey (a.k.a win stage one)

That all the top GC guys have at least one bad day, that should keep it exciting.

Some cobble carnage on Stage 5. No-one hurting themselves or owt but just setting up some reasonable GC gaps.

Pokerface

My wish is for Cancellara to win the Tour by virtue of a 20-minute gap he puts into all other riders on Stage 5 (cobbles).

Dear Genie,

With my wish I would like 3 more wishes.

With the 3 wishes I would like:

1) For the GC battle to be back and forth throughout the race rather than just one decisive stage
2) Cav to to win yellow on stage 1
3) For the cobbled stage to be attacking and for there to be splits throughout the peloton

keyser__soze

Wiggo to win with a devastating attack on the Queen Stage dropping Froome and Contador like they were standing still (would require all sorts of miracles, not least a very late minute injury and change in team), then seeing Brailsford try to explain how it was all part of The Plan

The "Pave" is usually attacking because with Tempo riding there are more accidents.

So Genie,
1) which stage will Froome dog have a bad day or maybe other days as well.
2) My wish is that a European wins this TDF and not an African or other Continent rider.

Not greedy but just Hopeful you can spare one wish.

Every day there is GC action, with a battle that see saws and changes and goes down to the wire.

So pretty much the same thing I asked for then? :P

Aye, that.

Cav winning yellow on stage one and winning in London with it on, followed by a tense fight for the green which he wins by taking the Champs Elysee.

I'm a genie - I can make things happen. If you want Bernie Eisel to ride a stage naked, I can do that. (Maybe not for you, but there will be takers).

I don't know who those takers would be.... :roll:

I would like Cav to win stage one, three and the Champs please.

You SUCK Genie!!

The Bernie one could still happen.

I still feel bad about possibly jinxing Cav. Honestly I'm so superstitious about this one thing, I reckon if I hadn't picked him for PTP pr asked the genie he'd have won and not crashed etc. etc.
