icyclingmedia.com asked various members of the cycling media (TV commentators, writers, editors) to offer predictions on the final podium for the 2014 Tour de France. All predictions were submitted prior to Stage 4. (Obviously before Froome and Contador crashed out) Thanks to all who submitted predictions!
