With a bit of luck we might see Aussie Richie Porte racing for BMC become the 2nd Aussie to win the tour behind 2011 winner Cadel Evans.

The experts have it between Froome and Porte with most behind the Aussie.

We also have Aussie team Orica-Scott/Greenedge riding again who might snatch a stage or two.

There are 9 Aussie Riders in the tour this year.

Go Richie!, lets hope he stays on his bike this year and gets the win.

      • Nuthin' wrong with lycra Carlo. Especially when you've got a bod that can pull it off ;)

  • Wonder how many riders are on the juice, blood swapping, doping, other enhancing etc this time around... perhaps just the usual 80%. Hasn't Tour de Drug become a bit of a farce over the years?

"LOL, Carlo, Yep, we're all on this rollercoaster. I expect we should bounceback tonight. Will it be enough? Dunno.  We might win by 2 or lose by 30. Eventually we'll improve, especially once Mitch gets back, to quiet the loud noises for a bit. But…"

"That's a good point, Frankie. Earlier today, I was thinking about what you and Muttman said.
Listening to Sarantos he seems like a "decent bloke" that doesn't knee-jerk react and I want him and the board to succeed.
