Stage 1 today.
If any of you follow this at all who do you think will fill Lance's spot and win?

Thomas Voeckler or George Hincapie are my picks

Thor Hushovd will win today.
Cadel Evans will win the whole tour.
Mark Cavendish will win 2 stages.

I'm really pulling for George Hincapie..but he's a pretty big guy so we'll see. But, interstingly enough George isn't the team leader for Team Columbia..Kim Kirchen is..and I have noo idea what he's like. So we'll see. But I'm definitely pulling for Team Columbia as far as teams are concerned.

how can you be talking about someone to fill lance's spot? He retired in 2005, there's been 2 races since he finished. The sport has already moved on.

as for this year though, i'd like to see hincapie win it, but for some reason i doubt it

Id like to see Alejandro Valverde take it because the spanish took Eurocup, Wimbledon, and then then Tour would be sick too. I think he has a good chance, but we all know things change a lot once we get into the mountains. We will just have to see!

If Hincapie wins the tour, I swear I will run naked on the Champs Elysees at the final stage!

Le tuor is maybe this year the most open one since years. Since main cheaters and drugs takers left, clean riders have better chance. However, this year's winner will probably a drug taker anyway.

There wasn't a ceal winner probably since .. I guess Bernard Thevenet or something like that.

I mean he was a cheater. But no Armstrong bashing here, he was not the only one. Let's say he was the strongest among the drug takers

Hincapie just doesn't have what it takes to win,  how long has be been trying to win Paris-Roubaix? He can't even make that happen and he is suposse to be a classics rider.

Hincapie is a glorified support rider who people only know because he rode with Lance.
