BMC for the win.

 

[jens_attacks]

Astana to slaughter them!

 

[Miburo]

BMC is so overrated in TTT, they always get picked for the win by some and then they fail.

Last time i talked *** about someone of BMC, he won 2 giro stages. Let it be good luck for bmc

 

[Arredondo]

I hope Sky will own the field. I want a full *** Froome this week!

I know they could easily fail. I hardly ever pick them. Just decided to go with with an "outsider." I know their not the favorites; it's more like who I want to see win.

 

[Velolover2]

Sky for sure. But mostly because they are starting last.

Otherwise, I'd had said Etixx.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

HotSteppers will take it.

Sky are too weak

Astana have the best team.

 

[BigMac]

Lampre could surprise with a half decent TT team. Hopefuly Oliveira didn't burn himself too much today.

 

[del1962]

I originally went with Sky on this but am leaning toward the steppers, Tony Martin to do half the work on the front

With your prevoius prefictions they will win!

However I think Astana have a half decent chance of winning.

SKY are too weak?? rubbish ..Froome, Kennaugh,Rowe, Stannard, Roche, etc ...most of the team that won at Romandie....

Just because you want it to be so does not mean it is

 

[Velolover2]

Anybody who know what the time gaps might be? I could see a team like Katusha ending up losing a minute at least.

 

[Velolover2]

Mapped it out. The climbs are long and gradual with gentle gradients. Still, teams which normally aren't good in a TT such as Katusha could do better than excepted. First is a cat 4, the second is a cat 3.

 

[BigMac]

Thanks Velolover. Well, that's actually hillier than I thought, interesting.

This profiles are kind of strange. Doe the colors depend on the steepest section of the route because I don't see another reason why you should make a section of 7% purple. Normally purple is the color for streets with an elevation gain of over 15%.

 

[Wallenquist]

BMC or Movistar for me. Sky has a good shot but their Romandie team was stronger and this TTT is a different one. Longer and more hilly. Astana and Etixx in the mix.

Romandie team stronger ?? Maybe on the flat ...but this is hillier

Thomas, Pate & Viviani out but Poles, Boswell & Deignan in ...all 3 of whom are good on the hills


I don't mind if SKY win or not....Etixx may have a better chance but just saying they are rubbish or team weaker are not valid arguments

 

[the sceptic]

astana comfortably. about 30 secs ahead of sky.

 

[Velolover2]

Are the start times out yet?

 

[Flamin]

Start times updated in OP.

 

[Dedelou]

I go with sky on this one they seem ready to rumble and Daignian and Co. have been resting for this

 

[ILovecycling]

Astana to win by 2 minutes going all out on 58x13

The scale is literally directly above it.
