Oh yeah.

I did one of these a few years back, and it was in no way a success. This year should be different no doubt.

Anyway, it kicks off today.

Norway have serious contenders in Northug, Bjørgen, Skofterud and Johaug. Cologna, Bauer and perhaps Hellner will probably be the only ones capable of threatening Northug. Will be interesting to see how much time Northug gets on the others before the last stage. He probably needs somewhere around a minute on Bauer atleast.

I think Johaug might win for the ladies. Bjørgen has struggled a bit with a lot of races in a short period of time before, and Johaug is unbeatable going up the alpine hill.

Enjoy.

This thread has about 5 times as many replies as my last TdS thread! Anyway, exciting stage coming up today. Cologna has a good advantage, but will be interesting.
 
If the skiers started man handling each other in a homoerotic manner a la UFC it would get a lot more attention from the inadequate's who tend to follow those sort of sports.
