1. Hi,

    Who of you is interested in the tour actually ?
    Or are you a bit sick of the sport because of all the drugs there is, as me ?
    Whose your favorite to win the yellow jersey ? (and green and the 'circle'? jersey..?)


    As a Belgium-boy, i hope Boonen will win at least one stage ofcourse and maybe the green jersey, if he rides the tour out...
    I really don't know who will win this year, i hope someone who hasen't taken pills but that will be difficult
  2. I always watch it on TV. And I will do it again this edition. But as you say, all those drug rumours aren't good for the sport. It's not the question anymore: who uses drugs, but who doesn't use drugs..

    Agree. I think a lot of riders who did sign that drug contract, are using drugs too.

    But I think Kloden will win the Tour. He did a great prologue today, and he is in a great shape.
    Robbie McEwen is my big favourite for the green. Although Boonen could be a great opponent for him . But Boonen hasn't his year at the moment.
    Rasmussen will be the best one in the mountains I think.

    Big surprise this year could be dutchman Thomas Dekker. I hope so
  4. I don't like very much cycling, but I admire A LOT thier efforts (300 km in a day is inhuman!)...

    Yeah that's a completely understandable reason (A lot of cyclists already have complained about this, especially in the tour) but maybe the sporters should know better ! They could ruin there lives with it...
    So maybe better stop cycling and do something else..?

  7. When Armstrong and Ullrich isn't around anymore its not that interesting. And all of this doping use has ruin the sport.

    It's even more interesting! Right now there is not one super favorite like Amstrong all those years...Even though I'am a BIG fan of Lance I think the Tour is more exiting now....Who you guys think will win this year? Will it be Aleksandre Vinokoerov maybe?? And about the drugs....it's part of the game these years, it sucks but we can't do a thinbg about it. So I'll just sit down relaxt and hopefully enjoy a couple of brilliant mountain rides!!! And as a good Dutchman...pray for a good day of Michael Boogerd in the Mountains

    Agreed ! But as last year, it was very exciting and i LOVED the return of Landis in the mountains !
    But if you saw that, after such a bad day, you just KNEW that's normally impossible...
    And it was.... Floyd took dope and we still don't have a winner...

    So i'm a bit scared to see the same thing happening again this year
    And i still don't know who can win this tour...
    + I've got a LOT of respect for that man ! Boogerd is always giving the best of him self but he always has bad luck... I'm sure he'll win a ride this year Maybe he can go for the "circles?" jersey
  10. The Bolletjestrui ..haha

    No, that's for Rasmussen, I think. Nice sprint today from McEwen..

    Yes how does that call in English
    Well Rasmussen.... Never been impressed by him...

    Especially Robbie's comeback and work from the team was amazing !
    Boonen lost like a child today

    Rasmussen. The mountain king of the last two Tours. He's a bit strange but he does everything to win the mountain competition.
