2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

Who will be #1 at the end of the 2001 TDF? LA will come focused and ready for war! Ullrich (and Tekekom) also want to win badly! Will the "Pirate" be a factor? Predictions: The winner will be... I...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

Jan Ullrich was 23 when he won his first Tour in 1997. He will be 27 for the 2001 TDF. His prime is now. While I agree he's got the raw talent to win a bunch more Tours, until he actually wins it...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

I think Ulrich has one or two wins in him yet, but not six. The Tour has just become too tough, and there are too many variables. Heras and Beloki are not going to lay down and die.

Some people like to say that VDB is the next Merckx. He has had incredible results but these great feats have been offset by even more spectacular failures. He's an incredible rider, but he doesn't...

Lance will win again. After all of this crud in the French papers about USPS doping, he has to come back and ram it up their..... Also, Pantani will be in top forma along with Ullrich who have already...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

Matthew, I, too, think Lance will win the Tour in 2001. When both, Ullrich and Armstrong, are in top form by July IMO they'll be equally strong - so it comes down to the teams. And USPS has the...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

I also think the TTT gives USPS an advantage, and also the mountain TT will give LA another advantage. LA also can match both Ullrich and Pantani in the mountains, so right now I'd have to give the...

>>Lance will win again.<<I agree. As you say, his preparation is second to none, the Tour is his primary focus, and he just feeds off of all the controversy to find new ways to motivate...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

I have to admit that it is going to be very tough for Pantani to win the Tour, just as it was in 1998. He certainly won't dominate like Armstrong or Ullrich could do, or like he did at the 1999...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

Although I have beem at times a huge Pantanti fan, I would dare to say he will not win another TDF. I have heard many people say that he should not of won in 98 Tour... that if there were not the...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

IMO, there can be none to beat LA......but one. His name is Jan Ullrich, he's 27 years old with a weight of 69-70 kilos *winks and whistles* Got the point ? An uncertain parameter would be Pantani. I...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

I would like to be the first to say that if Ullrich does win this year (no that I want him to), it's because of Kevin Livingston. He would have 3 in a row as a domestique. I don't know bicycling...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

John, I think Marino Alonso holds the record of being a domestique for the TDF winner. I think he was the only rider (apart from Miguel Indurain, obviously) who was in the Banesto team every year from...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

If you don't know much about cycling (as you pointed out yourself) than it would be wise to think twice before posting things like 'if ullrich will win then it's because of KL' Actually, he doesn't...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

Sorry, but your statement clearly shows that YOU don't know anything about cycling. Even an Ullrich in topform can't accomplish anything without a good team. I don't know whether Kevin will make the...

Re: 2001 TDF Who? What? Where? & Why?

Uh oh ah, now you got me. Nah, not at all. Of course everyone needs a team behind. Maybe you misunderstood the tone of my posting.My answer was a 'somewhat ironical' reply to a postingwhich i found -...
