As much as it pains me to say...I can't see Cav getting back to the sort of form to challenge the top sprinters out there.I hope I'm wrong.

Just had a look at the Tour of Germany and there's a amazing line up for this race.

Here's a link.

It looks like he didn't even start the last stage but I don't know why.
edit - he was a dnf I think

I don't think he was terribly enthusiastic about that: Stage 1: 100th, 2: 110th, 3: 74th, 4: DNF

Since the ToB thread is a load of grainy photos and people telling us where they stood, I'll post this here!
MVDP is adding to his impressive palmares at the ToB. Stick a tenner on him for the Worlds!

Michael Matthews won the first Canadian race. Geraint was in it and I thought he might be nearer the pointy end. Maybe he'll try harder this evening in number 2.

Not really watched much of it but he'll be the favourite,for sure.
I'll go for the E/W bet on Phil Gil.He is riding isn't he ?

Did you watch it ? He came from a bit back didn't he.I know his secret...
"I’ve playing a lot of Playstation recently and that definitely helped me to see all the gaps in the bunch and time my sprint

I haven't watched any of it at all.
I suspect Phil G will be there but will he be the protected rider, if that's how the Belgians work.

 

[rich p]

He's favourite but Sagan, Mathhews, Alaphillipe, PhilGil etc willbe a good contest.

Bardet has shorter odds than Swift.
