Tour de France 2011

[Magizian]

Lots of crashes this year

I still think Contador will probably win Le Tour, but my feeling is that the top 3 is going to be a lot closer than in the past couple of years. Both Schleck brothers and Cadel Evans look very strong. Also, Basso is a bit of a dark horse.

I hope für Klöden and Tony Martin, but I still think, Contador will win (before A.Schleck and Evans).
Andre Greipel won yesterday :-)

Yeah, yesterday was good. It's very boring when Cavendish wins all the time

Both Klöden and Martin always seem to fall through at one point during the mountain stages. This year could be different of course

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's stage!

Klöden + Martin both disappointed today (ok, Klöden doesn´t have much luck in this year´s tour...).
Congrats to stage-winner Sanchez and the Schleck-brothers

I was pleasantly surprised by Basso today (well yesterday, really). He showed a lot of initiative and looked very strong - I think he could very well end up on the podium in Paris.

Also a very good defense of the yellow jersey by Voeckler. Who would have thought?!

Friday's stage:

I think cycling is very nice sport, pitty it's not so popular in my country, as a sport. I mean...ppl do ride a bike, but not as a professional sport, at least not many professional sportsmen... We have 'Tour de Serbie' once a year...but it's nowhere big or popular like other sports
I hope in future more attention will be put on cycling.:?
(Btw...nature and landscapes r always impressing for me when I watch it...lol. But that's another story....)

Happy to see Evans winning I have lost a lot of respect for the Schleck brothers during the tour.. which is sad because before the tour start I wanted them to win but their constant crying about the route and the way they have been riding has just been sad to look at..

Well done by Cadel Evans and Tony Martin (even he doesn´t have a good place in GC) :-)
I´m sure, Andy or Frank Schleck will win one of the following editions of the tour.

If Contador skips the Giro next year, I think it will be extremely difficult. I really can't see them beating both Evans and Contador, who are both much better in the time trial and downhill.

I was really hoping for Voeckler to end up on the podium. I don't think I've ever seen a rider work so hard to protect his yellow jersey. Respect! :shock:

Also, congrats to Evans on a well deserved victory.
