    What do people predict about Hesjedal? Anonymity or Giro12 continued?

    Think that was his single one-off GT. Doesnt mean anonymity is the alternative, but no follow up GT wins.

    He'll go the wrong way?

    Rick will make this thread a sticky then leave it open until Day 1 of the season, when it will be locked and preserved to check who was right/wrong

    ???

    Good point. Just in case he doesn't, think I'll get a post in that I can edit later...

    No cyclist will win SPOTY (Ennis will)

    Scottish Cycling fans will vote for Chris Hoy and split the vote

    Harsh truth is that no one will think to vote for Sarah Storey......

    Start as you mean to go on :wink:

    Here's my 'sticking my neck out' predictions for 2013:

    1) Stannard will win G-W
    2) Cancellara will crush P-R
    3) JTL will feature prominently in the Ardennes Classics but won't win any of them
    4) Really sticking my neck out here --> JTL will win a stage of the Vuelta
    5) Contador won't win any GT's this year
    6) Cav will win the same number or less stages in the TdF than he did with Sky last year
    7) Gilbert will become a double world champion

    Odds must be shortening on this prediction coming true.

    And, yes, I will be shamelessly reminding people throughout the season when my predictions come true. :wink:

    Tyler Farrar will be terrible.
    Sagan will improve on his win tally from 2012.
    Dan martin to get his nose straightened.

    Loads of people will complain about the Sky train dominating the race when their team leader takes a summit finish win by a whopping 6 seconds.

    Wiggins to win Paris Nice and Romandie again, but he'll be mangled in the Giro and will be lucky to get a top 5. The Italians will attack the crap out of him in the climbs and Nibs should win.

    After that disappointment, he may go for the Tour, pissing off Froome - or something like that - There will be serious in-fighting. Contador will win the Tour and Froome will get 3rd... Wiggins will finish in the top ten.

    Cancellara will be back. He will win the World's TT in a head to head with Tony Martin.

    Something bad will happen with the uci ...

    I predict that The Prophesy will bring great kudos to its author, and bestow enormous entertainment on the rest of us.

    I'm not predicting EVERYTHING, but here are some of the biggies (and note: these are not what I want to happen)

    Tiernan-Locke to win something decent
    Chinny to win P-R and the Ronde
    Nibali to win the Giro
    Contador for the Tour/Vuelta double, Froome not coming close
    An Italian to win the Worlds

    2/5 :lol:
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    No love for Froome in those predictions! NOt a single person tipped him for the Tour.

    Sagan will podium in every Classic he rides but will not win any.

    I will win PTP.

    That's a doozy isnt it? The Belgian race he won isnt a classic is it...? I can't remember which one he won now
