Dream Tour Result - Tour de France 2012

I had a few topics running around in my head to blog about tonight. There's the Frank Schleck shame, Team Sky's dominance, and of course the anticipation of the next two stages but....

Let's forget all that 'stuff'  I want to blog about my dream 2012 Tour de France result. Something fantasy, something written from the heart and something to add a bit of excitement to the tour.

Here are where things stand today at the beginning of Stage 16. We have good old Bradley 'one pace' Wiggins in first, Christopher 'biding my time' Froome in second and Vincenzo 'waiting to the last minute' Nibali in third and of course Cadel 'Aussie Fighter' Evans in fourth.

From here how would my dream tour evolve?

Firstly of course I would love to see Nibali, Van Den Broeck and Evans and their teams work in successful collusion to destroy Team Sky. Not that I dislike Bradley Wiggins or Team Sky. In fact I think that they have riden a perfect text book tour to protect Wiggins (apart from Froome's little 'moment'). But I want to see some action!

They would work them over and take back time leaving the top five riders all within a minute of each other by the end of the stage tonight. Then of course Cadel would break loose and attack on tomorrow's hill top finish smashing them all and taking a three minute lead into Stage 18 where he can rest up ready to have the time trial of his life the next day. The rest of the podium can work itself out.

No? Wishful thinking? La la land?

Possibly. Okay, most likely.

Apart from that I would love to see Wiggins faulter and Froome be able to be let loose and really show us what he is capable of.

And the ultimate finish would be a Sagan, Greipel, Goss dead heat on the Champs Elysees!

As I said, dream tour results. More chance of happening in my head than in France right now.



So what would you love to see happen over the last five days of racing? (Be as outlandish or as realistic as you like!)
