Tour de France 2013

- Start date
For Stage 18:
Bardet -140 vs. Gesink for 1.5 units ? I expect there will be a couple French who will be going all out to get a stage win on such a monumental climb. Rolland probably stands the best chance but I don?t like his odds at -180 vs. a decent rider in Bakelandts
Gadret +115 vs. Anton for 1/2 unit ? another Frenchman who will be going all out.
Navarro +190 vs. Talansky for 1 unit ? the young American Talansky has had a great tour but the ride tomorrow will be something he?s never experienced.

0-1 as Kreuziger and Fuglsang finish with the same time, but Fuglsang gets Kreuziger by a couple of spots.
Updated Record: 10-12 for +7.20 units
Stage 20:
Quintana -195 vs. Rodriguez for 1 unit - Quintana is going to be attacking after taking a back seat in today's stage. He can't catch Froome but has the ability to capture Contador and the #2 podium spot.
Moreno +205 vs. Porte for 1 unit - Porte will lead Froome through most of the day and expect him to finish well off on the last climb.

Sorry, just saw this. Though Froome should be comfortable and not care if Contador pushes it to stay ahead if Quintana, it has become obvious that Froone doesn't want to yield one second to Contador.
How quickly has Contador moved into the old guard regime? I remember when he won his 3rd (which was later given to Schleck) everyone was speculating given his age at that time Armstrong's record may be in jeopardy. Well quite a bit changed since then obviously.
Despite Contador's impressive last time trial, I'm not sure if Contador or Schleck will be seen on the podium again given all the new blood seeming ready to take over. Quintana, Talansky, Van Garderen and Bardet all will be interesting to watch in the coming years.
Adding:
Field not Cavendish to win Stage 21 -105 for 2 units - Cavendish has won the last stage the last four years, he will be in contest for it but I really feel Sagan or Kittel or perhaps Greipel will put an end to that streak today.

Thanks. 2-1 on the day as Kittel, Greipel and Cavendish finish 1, 2, 3.
Final Record: 13-16 for +4.05 units
