[auscyclefan94]

1. Martin
2. Cancellara
3. Rogers
4. Tuft
5. LLS

 

[Jamsque]

This. Is. SPARTACUS.

All the talk about Martin challenging is just that.

 

[Moondance]

1. The Canc
2. Martin
3. Porte

 

[Sophistic]

4,2km@~8% over the two laps, gonna be interesting how much the 3 breakthrough guys of 2010 (Velits, Brajkovic, Porte) can take from Cancellara and Martin on these climbs.

 

[craig1985]

If Cancellara doesn't win this then Manolo Saiz is a paragon of clean cycling.

 

[Anonymous]

will this be televised in europe?

Are they really having 40 min gaps between certain riders?

Steve

 

[joy118118]

No Italian in TT.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And again Saint Kitts and Nevis sent two guys

 

[theyoungest]

Are they really having 40 min gaps between certain riders?

Steve

To avoid overcrowding the course, yes. They're riding three laps, and at a certain point everyone is chasing everyone.

 

[Jan the Man]

1. Gustav Larsson
2. Fabian Cancellara
3. Tony Martin

 

[Dalakhani]

Makes sense.

(I forgot it was a tiny little Aussie course - not the big TT courses I'm used to seeing in European races )

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They are riding 2 laps. Not 3. See initial post.

The course is slightly different from the U23 one since they have made an extra loop after the 2nd climb with some more flat. This makes 1 lap 22km.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Top 3 Prediction.

GOLD - FABIAN CANCELLARA.

SILVER - PETER VELITS

BRONZE - TONY MARTIN

Not that important for the point I was trying to make, though.

 

[Ferminal]

1. The Canc
2. Martin
3. Porte

Hard to disagree with that.

All things being equal, no one has a chance of beating the first two.

I think 3rd will be a bit of a lottery.

Porte is a good chance but a bit of an unknown, this is twice the length of anything he has done this season, of course the longest (23km) he won and most of us assume he's better over a world championship length. His size may also be in his favour over the uphill sections.

The others fighting for 3rd? G. E. Larsson, Tuft, Millar, Zabriskie, Moerenhout, Brajkovic, Rogers, Sanchez.

More specifically, I think it's between Porte, Larsson and Sanchez.

I would probably rank them in the following order, in three groups:

Cancellara
Martin

Larsson
Porte
Sanchez

Moerenhout
Millar
Zabriskie
Rogers
Tuft
Brajkovic

 

[Tuarts]

As much as I like him, I don't think Porte will place.

Hard to go pass Cancellara but if he falters (although I'm not sure why if he does it means they're all doping???) but the others I think in with a chance are Martin, Larsson, Rogers and they'res a lot of roughies like Sanchez, Velits and Zabriskie who could steal it if they find their stride tomorrow. Will give a mention to Tuft. Would be awesome for Pegasus next season if he gets it.

 

[brianf7]

Yes probably while you are in Bed like we get the Tour after midnight but you will get it some time.

 

[abbaskip]

Makes sense.

Steve

Yeah, we don't have much space over here

 

[ttrider]

So does no one believe a more gc style rider will win the womens event showed the hill to be very hard and the course rarely flat, 4km at 8% will surely hurt a bigger guy
If Velits is in his Vuelta form im backing him, i know about the wind change etc but this course favours him far more

 

[sublimit]

I still go with specialists like this.

1.Fabian Cancellara
2.Tony Martin
3.Peter Velits
4.David Zabriskie
5.Gustav Larsson

Porte and Millar could do something but I reckon they have their eye on the road race.

 

[meandmygitane]

F Cancellara
G Larsson (+0:30)
T Martin (+1:30)

My prediction? It won't even be close between the podium places. Cancellara to conserve his power second lap. Velits was overhyped, Martin to a degree also.

 

[search]

Porte and Millar could do something but I reckon they have their eye on the road race.

Porte's gonna watch the road race on television, he's not even in there, so nothing to wait for

i hope millar doesnt burn himself out before sunday
