Having Evans, Porte & Quintana etc targeting the Giro/Vuelta is very exciting

And Nibali alsoGAV!N wrote: Froome still has a bit of work to do! Could make for an exciting tour though if it's not a one man race again.
Interesting to read Scarponi's thoughts on Nibali re: 2014 Tour de France

Yes Quintana (I'm a big fan of his) riding the Giro and Vuelta for 2014
No Tour de France for Quinatana
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/no-tour ... na-in-2014
Should make for an interesting Giro Quintana v 'Purito'

Then apparently some nasty steep hills the next day, from York to Sheffield.
There was a background story on SBS yesterday, with Bernard Hinault visiting this parcours.

Yes his form in the 2014 Tour of the Basque Country (final GC below) certainly has him looking the goods for the Tour de Francewarthog1 wrote:Sky ain't going to have it all their way this year I reckon. Contador is looking ominous.

I was wondering is there "meet the fans" session during the Stage 1? Like signing and photograph thingy??
I'll be there at Stage 1 starting and Stage 2 ending. Am doing research of where to park, where to go blah blah. From website the starting can accommodate up to 25,000 spectators.

I am going to a more sedate viewing point at Harewood and then hot foot-it into Harrogate for the finish. Big fan park. [SPAM LINK REMOVED]

No Wiggins in the Tour... I thought if he and Froome COULD get along, he would have been a good help.
Definitely can't see Wiggins staying with Sky past this year.

I don't often stay up to watch whole stages (maybe some of the mountains) but will be glued for the first two - if I was rich I'd be there!
I've even ordered the T-shirt

Interesting response from Brailsford Brailsford speaks about Wiggins Froome spat. Despite Brailsford's protestations, I still can't see Wiggins in the teamGAV!N wrote:http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/wiggins ... rance-team

Froome is looking very good, it'll take something very special from Contador or another to trump him. It's great to see Contador is such good form, and have really enjoyed watching his cycling craft lately.
