The 2013 Tour de France: The Biggest Race in Cycling

12
Apr
2013

The 2013 Tour de France is just around the corner, and this guest post from Mark at Ladbrokes provides a first look at who’s favored to win the 100th edition of this grand tour.

The Tour de France: the biggest race in cycling

It’s one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the sporting calendar and attracts millions of viewers around the world. Where many other races fail to capture the public’s imagination, the Tour de France succeeds.

Last year, a dramatic race saw the charismatic Brit, Bradley Wiggins, secure the Yellow Jersey, but what does this year have in store?

Cancellara in check

In the run-up to cycling’s marquee event, one of the in-form riders is Fabian Cancellara who recently secured an impressive victory in the Paris-Roubaix Race, his third win of the race in a row. He’s likely to be one of the major threats to Wiggins’ crown, especially as he has had victories this season at the Tour of Flanders and the E3 Harelbeke.

The Swiss ace had mixed fortunes in 2012, with an injury to his right collarbone keeping him out of some of the biggest meetings of the year. He also left last year’s tour to support his wife at the birth of his child.

However, he’s begun 2013 with a bang, and with the Tour less than three months away, it seems that he’s coming into form at the right time.

A Successful Defense?

A lot of pressure rests on the shoulders of Bradley Wiggins. After a phenomenally successful 2012, a nation of keen cycling fans expects him to at least come close to repeating his heroics this year. Despite being in a good position to retain the Yellow Jersey, Wiggins has a packed schedule.

Recently, the 32-year-old had suggested that he might compete in the Vuelta a Espana. What that could mean is Wiggins may focus a lot of his attention on that particular race having already done it on the biggest stage of all. This race is in September so Wiggins may use the Tour de France as a spring-board to work on his form.

Many believe that Wiggins is in with a reasonable chance of winning the Tour for a second year running. He’s 14/1 with Ladbrokes, though the favourite is Alberto Contador, while Chris Froome is also ahead of him in the betting. Cancellara is currently a ranked outsider at the moment you may start to see this change.

Froome Could Win

Chris Froome rides for the same team as Wiggins and will be a contender too. In March Wiggins was accused of “hiding” in the tour of Oman by fellow rider Vincenzo Nibali. After losing time on the first day he resided to helping and supporting Froome.

So far this year Froome has won the Tour of Oman and Criterium International overall, both of which he took a stage win. He also finished second overall in the Tirreno Adriatico again winning one of the mountain stages of the tour.

Alberto Contador Favourite

Despite finishing behind Froome in the Tour of Oman and Tirreno-Adriatico Contador is the favourite for the Tour de France. He has won the tour twice, once in 2007 and once in 2009. He has also been at the centre of doping scandals both in 2006, when he and his team were associated with the Operacion Puerto doping case and again after the 2010 Tour de France when traces of clenbuterol were found in a urine sample that he gave.

Another tour on the cards

While male riders have the Tour de France to look forward to, what does the future hold for their female equivalents?

Leading rider Emma Pooley is the latest big name to suggest that women deserve their own Tour de France, not to mention a busier calendar.

A women’s race would make the whole event more inclusive and it would help to showcase the depth of talent in cycling as a whole. In the meantime, fans will have at least one race to look forward to this year, but if campaigners are successful, two could take place in 2014.

    Seedorf delighted by Balotelli ‘intensity’

    agen bola terpercaya Cityholidaybet.com reported – AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf praised striker Mario Balotelli performance in the 2-0 victory over Fiorentina.

    A stunning free kick by Balotelli after Philippe Mexes’ opener secured the points for Milan, giving them their first win in their last six games in all competitions.

    The controversial Balotelli was never far from the action and while he was booked for the 10th time in Serie A this season in the first-half, he peppered the Fiorentina goal with several free kicks and was a constant nuisance to the hosts’ defence.

    “A centre-forward has to work going forward and back, so when his team goes too deep he needs to spread it wide to help the others come up,” As reported by City holiday.

    “I asked Mario for intensity and in that sense he had a great game in both phases.”

    “We already knew he had talent and could take free kicks like that, but I was most impressed by his consistency and intensity.”

    Draxler belum tentu menjadi starter

    Gus Poyet says Sunderland would sell Fletcher

    Agen Bola Indo11.com reported, Gus Poyet, a coach of Sunderland, says the selling striker Steven Fletcher would be done if the club receive a substantial enough offer.

    Steven Fletcher, 26, has scored three goals in 16 Premier League outings this season, making him the Wearside club’s top scorer.

    However, the coach says that he would be forced to sell Steven Fletcher.

    “I’m not the type of person to say ‘no-one is for sale’ and then we sell one. Why? Because every single player has a price. I’ve got no issues with Steven, that’s why he’s playing,” Gus Poyet said.

    “If I had issues I wouldn’t be playing him. We need to use the squad because of the quantity of games. I don’t take anything personal with any player, sometimes they get it wrong.” as reported by

    Agen Bola Indo11.com.

    “If they don’t play, sometimes it can be a tactical reason and sometimes we don’t explain it because if you did that every time you would not stop calling players. The idea is we try to get the best out of them. That is our job,” he added.

    Marquez
    mengaku tidak senang walaupun start di baris terdepan,

    Berita
    terbaru dan terkini Bola Soccer dari Agen Bola Indo11 – Pembalap Honda
    Repsol Marc Marquez tidak sepenuhnya senang dengan start ketiga di MotoGP Republik
    Ceko. Sebab, Marquez merasa dirinya sebetulnya mampu untuk meraih pole
    position.

    menit 55,863. Catatan itu mengungguli rekan setimnya Dani Pedrosa di urutan

    baik karena ada deretan pebalap dan beberapa lainnya menuggu untuk masuk,”
    kata Marquez.

    “Terkait balapan, aku merasa percaya diri karena aku nyaman dengan motorku
    dan aku punya sebuah dasar yang bagus dan kecepatan pebalap. Jika balapan
    berlangsung kering, aku siap bersaing untuk merebut kemenangan.” tutupnya.

    Why is Fabian Cancellara being mentioned as a potential winner? He is a time trialist and a one day classics rider. He cannot climb, he will be riding the tour to win stages and help Andy Schleck win. He is definitely an imposing rider but i just can’t understand how anybody with any knowledge of cycling could consider him a legitimate contender

    • Garth on May 30, 2013 at 4:20 pm

      Agreed. Cancellara is not even a top 10 contender. I can’t see past froome or contador. In my eyes the real question mark is who will fill that third spot. So many riders to look at. Quintana is polling surprisingly well in the book makers eyes but my money is on Nibali to back up from a very impressive Giro. I’ll be gunning for Cadel though!

  36. Asylum Cycles on April 24, 2013 at 5:51 pm

    Froome’s got this race in the bag. His form right now is scary. Barring an injury, we think that he’ll be in Yellow in Paris. We also take Wiggins at his word that he’ll be racing for the Giro and Vuelta. Wiggins is a man for image.

    Being the first Brit to win the Vuelta, the Giro, not to mention having the Tour in tow, would be much more significant, in his worldview, than getting his second tour win. He’s at an interesting junction as he’s not getting any younger, he’s super strong, but he has Froome in the same stable. That relationship probably won’t work after this year.

    Regarding other contenders, Contador can’t be counted out, but he’s just not the same rider post-doping ban. As much as we hate to say it, Cadel’s entering the twilight of his career. Van Garderen is an exciting young rider, but he lacks the experience to pull it off in the face of Sky. Nibali can’t stand up to the time-trials.

    Well, that’s our opinion at least.

    • Darryl is Loving the Bike on April 24, 2013 at 8:32 pm

      Sounds good to me. It’s going to be interesting to come back to the comments from this post once the Tour is completed so see who called it.

  37. JD on April 12, 2013 at 2:38 pm

    I don’t know who will win, but I can’t wait to watch the 100th anniversary.

  38. Tim Starry on April 12, 2013 at 10:56 am

    yawn

  39. Mark Beaconsfield on April 12, 2013 at 8:39 am

    Contador is a big threat, but I would love to see Cadel Evans win again. (Yes, I am biased towards the Aussies). Unfortunately, Evans’ form has not been so great lately. With the real possibilty that he will ride Giro d’Italia, do you think he will use the race as preperation for the TdF or concentrate on winning Giro?

    • Ed on April 12, 2013 at 10:40 am

      I like Evans but I don’t think he’s at the level he was when he won the tdf. I think its time for another Aussie ride to make their way to the front.

      • Darryl is Loving the Bike on April 24, 2013 at 8:32 pm

        I agree, Ed. I like Evans but just don’t see him rising to the top again.

  40. B Romane on April 12, 2013 at 8:21 am

    My money is on Contador this year.

  41. Roger on April 12, 2013 at 8:13 am

    This is a good overview of what is to come this summer. Like every year, it can be anyone’s race. At this point last year not many people would have predicted Wiggins to win and definitely would not have thought Froome would perform so well. My thoughts are that Wiggins will repeat or come very close.

    • Darryl is Loving the Bike on April 24, 2013 at 8:33 pm

      Thanks Roger. I can’t wait to see how things will play out this Summer.

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
