Stage 1 is pretty much what I'd been wanting them to do for years. It's hits most of the area's 'race ride' roads, and stitches them together very closely to a local's typical long weekend ride. In both terrain and cycling culture, I also can't envision many small US towns better than Folsom for a TT.

Good job to the organizers!

Wiggo FTW.

 

[Walkman]

I really hope Wiggins will show up and perform big time here and start building for the tour! Would be awesome to see him get a win here!

 

[BigMac]

Very interesting field. We should have a nice fight in the sprint finishes. Machado will win the overall with Wiggins second.

Me too.

 

[Arredondo]

Wiggo will win it, but the most important thing:

The establishment of Daniel Jaramillo as the next big thing!

He will do a 'Acevedo' 2014 here in California

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Looks like
Sagan 3 - 2 Cav

Can anybody drop Sir Wiggo on the climbs? A big gap?

I'm expecting at least Acevedo, Tend Dam and Machado to outclimb him. De LaCruz maybe. Don't know about the american guys.

Looking forward to the a performance by the Yates.

 

[Ruudz0r]

I ll be rooting for the Colombians. Jaramillo will certainly be good but hoping Acevedo is no longer held back by his knee and can fineally perform this year. Chaves is hopefully back to a good level and Bolivar is hopefully cured from his bronchitis.

and besides the Colombians gogo Lucas Euser!

 

[Jancouver]

This is the original thread.
Do we need two?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I'm expecting at least Acevedo, Tend Dam and Machado to outclimb him. De LaCruz maybe. Don't know about the american guys.

Looking forward to the a performance by the Yates.

All of these need about 60s gap (or more) to neutralize the 20km TT.


Of the yanks, Danielson, Stetina, Busche and Euser will probably lead the stars and stripes. I would be surprised if any of them can drop Wiggo significantly.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Nice,finally the second most important stage race of the year is about to start
I am a bit angry about the route, though. onsidering the two long MTf the TT should really have been 20km longer.

 

[SafeBet]

We need some image resizing.

Ten Dam and Machado dropping Wiggo, on a climb?

What have i missed the last years?

Besides Wiggins being crap at the moment and Machado being on the rise? Nothing.
