Will Cadel Evans win Le Tour?

Question

Will Cadel Evans win Le Tour?

Answer 1

Tough question really, I definately think he has what it takes to but I guess in time we'lll see.

Answer 2

I really hope so, it would be great if and Australian won it. I also think he has a slightly better chance now that the Saunier-Duval team pulled out.

Answer 3

Probally not. He's strating to show some signs of cracking. Team Columbia is showing some strong signs. I would say one of the team columbia members.

Answer 4

He should. He is the favorite and should win because;

Levi Liephiemer and Alberto Contador are not there.

Answer 5

Yes, quite possibly (and hopefully) he will.

It has been said, if he looses the Yellow Jersey, then re-claims it in a later stage of this year's TDF, that, that will leave Cadel and his team Silence Lotto with less pressure.

The remainder of the tour will be very hard.

Cadel, from what I've heard said about him by commentators on SBS, is probably one of, if not the best time trialer there.

That may be his strength, and way of re-claiming the Yellow Jersey later on.

Apparently, even if other top contenders like F. Schleck, etc gain more time over Cadel, then unless (from what I've heard) they make a time in the time trial of within 2 - 3 minutes of Cadel's time in the last time trial, Cadel could come out on top.

- I would usually be watching the stage live myself, but I think today's 13th stage is a rather flat one and is also between the major drawcards and natural challenges the Pyrennes and the Alps.

Cadel is said to be concerned about Dennis Menchov and what he may do later in this year's tour. Menchov is in the top 10 of the GC.

Answer 6

Oh, who gives a rat's ***! There are a lot more important problems than Le Tour to worry about...
