Doping.
I think there sadly will be someone who does cheat this year
I've really soured on the sport since Armstrong I'll be honest
Kind of like how I've been less into MMA since it came out that some fighters have been abusing testosterone replacement

See what you mean but there's dopers in every sport, even football. Best just to ignore it.

Chris Froome.
I disagree
Ignoring it is the worst thing to do
It would be better to just stop watching the sport all together

Live would be boring without sport though, would miss going to Goodison.

Froome in with an excellent chance. V exciting rider to watch (on the bike I mean), so should be good to see him taking it on. Contador is no longer 'the man', but can still win the Tour. Heard Richie Porte's name getting mentioned a lot for the podium also.
Andy Schleck seems to have gone off a cliff - biological passport issues no doubt.
Seem v wide open - there's no obvious patron who can have things all his own way.
Speaking of doping - looks like Nadal's 'racquet technology' let him down this week at Wimbledon. Not that anyone's arsed, if a sport has no interest in exposing doping then it cannot have a drug problem by definition.

If everyone stopped watching football because all the players were on the juice, I reckon the drug taking would face a steep decline
It's Froome's to lose. Contador isn't the same since his return, and no one else has really stepped up. If he can stay up right in the first week he should win

Contador won the Vuelta though, granted Froome was never going to win after competing in the TDF/Olympics and he's now got the support team built around him but it still shows Contador is a force to be reckoned with. Pretty sure it will be more exciting than last years race anyway.
Froome or Contador win, Porte will come 3rd if Sky dominates.

As a competitive cyclist
these are some of the brightest athletes in modern times.

For sure, Contador is still a force, but his level has dropped a fair bit from before his ban. Bit like Basso, but he still had enough to win the 2010 Giro.

Porte has looked really good this season, looking like he may well start to fulfil that promise he showed at the Giro a few years back. Sky are going to have some tough decisions at the end of this year, highly doubt they can hold onto 3 GT challengers and keep them all happy
Well one is already off. Think Uran is confirmed to be going to QuickStep next year. Henao will be staying at Sky though.
