  1. Wiggins will probably win the TDF but the one thing that surprises me the most is the improvement of Froome. It seems unbelievable that he has all of the sudden become the probably the best climber in the race, not to mention take 35 seconds out of the worlds best time trialist.

    Don't get me wrong, he is a great cyclist but to say he has improved because of hard training sounds a bit sus.

    Last time I saw an improvement like this was when Floyd Landis performed a superhuman effort to regain yellow in the tour. Looking at his current form he COULD win the tour if Sky let him.

    Time will tell!

  2. Can someone explain to me about the last stage.

    If Cadel makes up the time tonight - is he guaranteed 100% to win? ie. is it considered bad sportsmanship to overtake the yellow jersey on the ride into Paris?

    Who ever is in the lead tonight will win the tour. It is virtually impossible to gain time on the last stage into Paris. No rider can escape the peliton, every team wants to win the final day sprint.

    There are no time bonuses for the stage winner.

  3. Tonights the night....can Cadel make up the 57 seconds in the time trial and be the first Aussie to win the Tour?

    42 kms.....just over a second per km. On past form he should do it. Lets hope so.
