They would not pick him if he wasnt in good form, lets be honest Wiggans is plan A, plan B is go for stage wins and Gerro,EBH,Flecha,Swift,Thomas and Uran can all win stages. I think management has picked a solid squad that can help Wiggans and Uran in GC , EBH and Swift can win the odd sprint...

You could be right but he lost 6.22 yesterday. There was either a problem or he is setting himself for a breakaway. With the time lost to the GC guys they might let him go for a wander up the road. He has got to get a result soon to confirm his spot in the Tour.

Totally agree, EBH Gerrans Flecha Thomas Hayman can win from abreakaway or small bunch sprints. Get some stage wins on the board. I hope Brad and Uran have a good GC result but I cant see them winning stages in the mountains against the other GC contenders(contador,basso,evans,samu)

I am not saying its a crime against humanity its just with Rodgers and Cummings ill and guys from the Giro exhausted he would be my logical choice. Anyone who has won 3 grand tour stages is a quality rider, also he will have to prove himself worthy of his spot as will all of the other riders in...

Why is Gerrans overated in GTs ? Crashed out of tour last year , team left Vuelta early. The last three starts prior had a stage win in the Tour,Giro and Vuelta. Would be more than handy in abreakaway or mountain domestic. My pick Wiggans,Uran,Zandio,Gerrans,Thomas,Flecha,Hayman,Henderson,EBH.

Cummings has been ill and has no form at the moment and is not on the roster to race in the near future. So that leaves another spot open

Simon done 2 laps of the course last week and said he liked it . Who will be on the Australian Team? Go Gerro !

The race might break up going up the hill 3 times in really harsh wheather conditions could be big time lost by some riders today ?

Thankyou for the translation link, works a treat. Break up the road, is Saxo on the front doing tempo? How bad is the rain and wind ?

Thankyou for advice , as I live in country Victoria Australia and our roads are harsh on tyres I think I will have to remain on clinchers. Has anyone heard about the new Durace 50mm carbon clinchers,Reynolds Assualt,Reynolds Attack.

Sounds like Saxo and CTT will be making life hard for each other, Go Gerro!

At the moment I am riding Bontrager race X lites , great wheels but alas they are going on my wifes bike. I ride in races from 25 km to 65 km on rolling hill type courses. Thinking carbon clinchers 30mm to 50mm ? Or should I stick with something similar to the X lites . Lots of hills where I...

Thanks Doc for the link it has live feed Hunt one of 5 in a break, I cant read Danish I will put it on my list of things to do.

Would like advice on Race/Allround Wheels to purchase.

Could not find any stage profiles , by the look of the teams would asume its fairly flat with some rolling hills.
