Tour de France Predictions
Posted by FLATOUT JIM in race
It’s a huge weekend across the globe. Canada Day today, July 4th Monday, Women’s World Cup in Germany, and Tour de France starting on Saturday.
Here are some of my predictions for 2011.
1. Alberto will not win this years tour. He’s now the guy with the target on his back, and personnaly, I don’t think he has the Posse to protect him through the entire 21 days.
2. Andy Shleck will stand on the top step of the podium in Paris.
3. 5 years from now, the final standings will be completely different than the end of June.
4. The number of people in the United States interested in the tour will drop by 50 percent with Lance retired.
5. The number of people who will not tune in to this years tour because they are sick of all the talk about doping will increase by 90 percent.
Well, I’m not a TDF expert like Phil Paul and Bob, but I am a fan, I’ll be watching come tomorrow, and my final prediction is that I will be better than 500 on my previous 5 predictions.
Finally, go Ryder. Make us proud on Canada Day/Weekend.
