frozzi Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 So Cancellara won the first stage... Good Job Fabian!! Armstrong second already has a few seconds ahead from Ullrich, Hamilton and the other favorites... Who will win this TdF?

youm0nt Veteran Posted July 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2004 i think the main competition will be from tyler "broke my collarbone and placed 4th last year" hamilton and jan ullrich. ;) iban mayo might be a threat in the mountains and former team mate roberto heras.is heras a good climber?

mattmatik Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 To me, the Tour de France doesn't matter until the mountain stages. Lance Armstrong almost never wins any other stages, but he stays reasonable close. Then he goes like Hell and takes them all down. BRILLIANT! If anyone were to beat Lance, I'd like to see Tyler Hamilton do it. Might as well pass the torch.

Ayepecks Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I'd just like to say I loved the Daily Show's piece on the "Tour De Lance" last year after he won the 5th, lmfao Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185918-tour-de-france/#findComment-2420021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumTrickery Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 No doubt in my mind Armstrong will win again. I think he's one of the few that understands that winning the battle is far from winning the war. I don't honestly believe he really has any competition yet, but given a few more years age will be the deciding factor.

mika Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 i actually dont think it will be this clear this year... Ullrich got his strong team back and i think he prepared quite well. Since he's on a chill right now its ok to loose 15 seconds on the prologue... Lets wait for the hard stages in Alps and Pyrenees... i think Ullrich will be damn strong =) and since i'm German.. i predict HE will winn the Tour 2004 :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185918-tour-de-france/#findComment-2424761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

threetonesun Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I'm hoping Pantani wins. Wait. Nevermind. Ullrich will probably have to wait longer if he wants to win.

kingofthecarts Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Ok i have a question. Last year when Lance Fell, did Tyler tell Ullrich to stop or did he stop on his own? Just asking :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185918-tour-de-france/#findComment-2457690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritalin Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 i can see armstrong winning but i still think there is no way he's naturally that good... they probably gave him stuff when he was getting cured...
