Tour de France 2013
I am at a loss for figuring out whom to root for in this year's Tour.
1) Wiggins: injured. Not racing.
2) Contador: Racing. Too much doping controversy with him ... at least for me.
3) Getting tired of Cadel.
Not sure what team to pull for.
Yesterday's race was a boring sprint... even with Cavendish falling with 33km to go.

Re: Tour de France 2013
After all these years, should I even consider rooting for Andy Schleck? I mean, he's pissed at Radioshack for dropping Frank.
On the Americans, Hincapie and Leipheimer are gone.
I guess Danielson and Tejay have a chance to gain some fans.

Re: Tour de France 2013
Definitely rooting for Jens Voight to win a stage. Would love to see Stuart O'Grady win a stage but not likely to happen but getting to Paris to finish his 17th tour would be fantastic.
Overall - I guess I could root for any of the Garmin boys to win. Wouldn't mind Andy Schleck, either. I think he is better off riding without his brother. I've never been a Contador fan or a Cadel Evans fan - probably due their fans rather than the actual riders.
I thought it was interesting to see the yellow jersey transfer from Gerrans to Impey. He was so overwhelmed to be putting it on - that was fun to watch. First South African to wear yellow.
Maybe I should find a Frenchman to root for - it is about time for them to win again - it has been 41 years.

Re: Tour de France 2013
I'm rooting for Lance. If he's using all these PED's he's accused of, he should still win
Your paradigm of optimism
