Only uno-fish-ally, though.

Yeah - but torx is obviously the plural of torque, so you're getting more for your money.

J Rod?
If it's bad weather I'll be looking at Paolini
I still have absolutely no idea about either of the first two stages. The eternal question of 'how big is that hill'.
Ill be somewhere on jawbone hill, where the piccy was taken. http://instagram.com/p/qCZbadtOYB/. Not sure if that link will work.
I'll be in Hebden Bridge to see them all whizz by.
I'll be in High Bradfield watching them on Kirk Edge Road as they approach Sheffield. Should be fun.
I'm thinking gerrans, g.v.a, sagan, slagter
Matthews has been withdrawn.
I'm the Orica kiss of death. I had 50p e/w on Impey too (admittedly at 350/1).
Ha ha, brill! I was very pleased with myself for backing Matthews at 80/1 for stage one.. the odds shortened massively after that... then he went and crashed and they shot back up again!
Stage 2 is very hard to pick. If Gilbert was riding I'd say Gilbert. But he isn't. So I'll say Valverde. Gerro himself, of course, should be in the running. I also have one or two other tips that I'm not sharing!
One guy I think will definitely fancy it though is Nibali. This would be a strong chance for him to get a dig in, wear the jersey for a good few stages and bang in a few seconds on his rivals for the podium.
