Hear, hear!

I'm going to go for EBH this year. It seems, reading between the lines from what Cav's said, that EBH may also get unofficial support from the GB team...

 

[Noodley]

I'll go for Boonen

JTL is the GB nominated rider

 

[Nearly there]

Interesting - some kind of payback for sacrificing his personal ambition for GB riders for most of the year.

That's probably reading a bit too much between the lines, but EBH would make a very good world champ imo.

Well done Lucy!!

Vasseur has said JTL has a chance if he attacks far out .... I wish he had kept quiet about that, JTL could well have been our secret weapon

oops...Tthat makes my post above look silly

Hmmmm, I'm going to say Uran, staying away from the main favourites

Interesting analysis about the potential internal rivalries within the Spanish & Belgian "teams". Whereas JTL won't feel too much out of place in a Sky line up after the ToB

i'm hoping Sammy Sanchez can pull it out of the bag. i reckon the Spanish could be a strong force on sunday to get a win for their fallen comrade Cabedo.

the course looks to favour Gilbert though

Oh yes, Marianne Vos for tomorrow ;-)

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I would love to see a Colombian win - they have so many strong riders who've done well this season and the tough loop with the Cauberg will suit them.

probably.

i'll be cheering for Arndt... going for a breakaway. or she'll drag Teutenburg up for the sprint. i'm going for a german on the podium tomorrow.
