If Tony can conserve is form it should be a cakewalf for him. I don't see any stage where he could be dropped. Disapointing parcours.

Saying the TT decides everything is like saying in soccer, that the last win in league brought you the championship.Moondance said:Wow, this course is lame. Romandie used to be my local race, and it was always great fun to go and see because they´d always have a few good stages.
This course however, is Tony Martin´s wet dream. TT will decide everything.
Sky appear to have bought a lame duck............he would have been on his home water, with these parcours.Gloin22 said:Rogers out of Romandie cause of sickness. Froome will replace him.
I don't know I think week-long stage races are his thing. Unless the next step is top 20 at the Tour and getting a few 2nd places in the TTs there.Cobblestoned said:I doubt that this stagerace will cause Tony a wet dream. It's just Romandie.
He now has higher targets, next step, and his threshold for having wet dreams should be really high now.
They are coming from the opposite side so you get only about 3km of difficult climbing near the start of the climb and not much elseBavarianrider said:The mountain finish on stage 1 is actually a lot harder then i thought it would be. This will provide a real test
