Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will win La Flèche Wallonne
Igor Antón will win on Arrate in the Vuelta
Domenico Pozzovivo will win the Giro del Trentino but drop out on stage 12 of the Giro
Marianne Vos will come 2nd at both the Olympics and Worlds. Giorgia Bronzini will win the former, Emma Pooley the latter
GreenEdge will finish in the top 15 for UCI points, but only because so many points are available for second tier sprinters in mediocre races
The Tour de Pologne will actually be more interesting than the Tour de France

Cav will win MSR
Matt Goss will win olympic gold
Geraint will podium at Paris Roubaix
Henao will win Liege Bastogne Liege
Andy Schleck will not win the tour de france
An italian will win the giro

Since when has saying Schleckette will not win the tour been a bold prediction?

Dan Martin will brush off his spring sickness and podium at Fleche Wallonne.

Hope the Geraint prediction is on the mark.

The Amgen Tour of California has an exciting mountain stage that isn't won by either Leipheimer or HornerShack.

Tony Martin wins the La Toussuire stage of Le Tour. (in a head-to-head sprint against Cav)

Euskaltel bag wins at both Flanders and Roubaix.

Hushovd wins M-SR.
Farrar will win Olympic Gold. I want Goss to but still that was my first instinct.
One of Sagan/ EBH win G-W.
Cancellara wins P-R.
Kreuziger will top 3 Giro.
Anton will win the Vuelta.

And last of all my biggest hope. That Porte is allowed to ride the ToC and therefore wins it.
