Couldn't care less for Tour de France this time around. Its full of druggies and Contador is back, no less.
Hope the ratings plummet worldwide.

Well Chris Froome just beasted Critérium du Dauphiné, good to see the drugs kicking in lol.

3 Australians behind him on the leader board.

Can this be added to the index please.

+1.

TDF starting soon.

I am keen as for this to start.
anyone going to make some predictions?

Overall winner
Froome number 1 choice
Van Garderen for outside choice

Sprinters jersey
Peter Sagan going to be hard to beat.

Overall team
Sky racing

King of the mountain
Froome for me

and Team green edge to win their first stage along the way

Yup starting to get excited, I think we will see Nibali, Froome and Evans battle it out. Chris froome named seven favourites, Alberto Contador, Alejandro Valverde, Joaquim Rodriguez, Cadel Evans, Tejay Van Garderen, Nairo Quintana and himself.

Hopefully orica get some stage wins.

As much as I'm a massive Evans fan I don't feel he can pull it off especially seeing as this year is supposedly hillier.

Nibali is a strong contender but Froome is in great form and sky racing said this years Tour de France suits him.
I think the only challenger to Froom is Teejay.

After a super ride last year pushing Evans and keeping him in it I think BMC needs him to push for the yellow jersey.

As far as Green edge go they had the best set up out of every team on nearly every stage with lead out riders but never went through to the line.
Hopefully they get at least one stage win this year.

Soooon 100th tour! Expect team sky to dominate the peloton.

Missed the first stage didn't even know it started-.-

Yea I was out, so I missed the first stage as well. :(

Saw a flare

There were 6 or 7 flares on a rooftop last night :lol:

Corsica is definitely on my list of to-go places for my next o/s trip :)

Will definitely have to go to a tour one day.

Froome making a move.

Froome trying to get a bit of time

Dog on the road lol

Break away won

Just hangs on to win.

Greenedge win stage 3! Simon Gerrans

What a finish. Can't believe Gerrans beat Sagan. Great result. :d

loved the body expressions of the two riders, not knowing who had won. Understandably so for Gerrans, beating Peter Sagan is an incredible feat in itself.

Team time-trial is on at the moment.

Orica-Greenedge are the next team to start.

BMC are due to start in 10mins

Orica-Greenedge into first.

Woo go Orica-greenedge

Get in lads! Orica Greenedge take the lead in the team time trial with only 3 teams to finish.

Simon Gerrans could be in yellow tonight - first yellow jersey wearer for the newly formed Aussie team.
