Shame he can't be there as defending champion, he wouldn't have won it though. Think it will be Froome or contador for yellow, Peter Sagan for green. Hoping Nairo Quintana goes for the polka dot. haven't a clue for best young rider. Mark cavendish will win most of the bunch sprints as usual. He was untouchable at the Giro. Please take into consideration i am the worlds shittest tipster.

Wiggo, the British hope maybe out, but we still have Froome, the Kenyan born, African raised Brit.
Agree with Jase, shame Wiggo can't defend his title but I don't think he would have made the podium tbh, looking how Froome is riding at the minute I think he will take some beating but you can never right of Contador. Sagan is always good to watch and Cav was flying in the Giro, if his team are struggling he's experienced enough to now who;s wheel to tag on to so still think he will clean up. Looking forward to it already.

You could do it in your asda jeans
Team Sky, Garmin, Radioshack, Omega what-ever quickstep.........bahhhhhhhhh.....I've shit 'em.
Wow, has it really been 12 months since the last tour!
Who do you fancy? Me, I'm going for Froome for the overall winner, should have won it last year had it not been for team orders. Would love Cav to pick up the green jersey hope I'm wrong but I can see Sagan picking that one up
Well what a fucking farce that was. Hopefully Sagan is ok. Tony Martin out with a snapped collarbone makes Cavs job a bit harder. Contador looked in a bit of pain also. If Sagan is ok i will have him for thhe stage tomorrow.

What a farce that was today, unbelievable really. Sagan looked a little battered but hopefully he will be ok. Unusual to see so many top sprinters taken out. Froome for me , odds too short for a flutter though.
Should get interesting from today with the two climbs in the last 60km, interested to see Froomes tactics, would love to see him stretch his legs today and wind Contador up by leaving him behind, be nice to see him in yellow by tonight.
