Who Will Win The Tour De France?
Not too early to start speculating, opining and theorizing about that race in July . . .
Who is your pick for the yellow jersey, green, polka dot, white, and sprint honors? Why? (AKA help me pick my fantasy team.)
I guess we don't know much about the form of Froome, Nibali or Quintana. The first two have had rather quiet early seasons, Quintana won Tirreno but has since been hors combat. We also don't know how Contador will recover from the Giro and you'd have to worry about Tinkov's support team. The TdF has a cobbles stage again, and neither Froome nor Contador seemed too comfortable on last year's cobble stage. The Mur de Huy features on another stage, if it is wet then out of the saddle climbers (Contador, Quintana?) might struggle but it is a short climb. Only a short ITT, ASO seemingly designed the course for the French climbers, neither Froome nor Contador will like that. Kittel's condition is uncertain, Cavendish seems strong, Sagan's morale must be high after ToC but he'll come to the race as Oleg's bastard stepchild and I think Kristhoff and Degenkolb will both be there.
