Who are the big favorites to win?

flakemore.

 

[grizzlee]

Alot of people over looking Mullen from Ireland in here, 7TH last year in u23 itt, TOP ten in tour of britain itt with same time as Kwiatowski. In with a real chance of gold. Cant understand why no one is even mentioning him.

oops, sorry greenedge just did

tour of brittain itt field is a joke and he has no chance against someone like flakemore I think

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

So Flakemore should continue the great Australian record in the event recently. 8 medals including 3 gold in the last 6 years.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Is there a startlist somewhere?

We will see today, om not saying he is definately going to win but he is definately in with as good a chance as anyone.

Oh and by the way he also has the 2nd quickest 10 mile time trial in british history, quicker than both wiggins and alex dowsett has done.

I wouldnt write him off too quickly.

Though i have probably jinxed him now by building him up. dead last today now a certainty.

like cameron meyer?

 

[Flamin]

Lopez also riding, cool.

Rain coming down hard now.

10 miles is what 16 km? the itt today is more more than 36 I think

 

[grizzlee]

i know what length it is, i was just giving you an example in case you had never heard of mullen, he is not exactly a household name outside of ireland

Thank you, I had not considered him as a chance at all. He looks like he might do well, perhaps top 5.

I know very well who he is and I think he's a good talent but I don't know yet if he's a real big talent and if he has the engine to go with the big guys. should be good in this weather though

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Damn, Meintjes could move into top 5 or even better.

 

[grizzlee]

No problem.

Thats all the point i was making, Not many of us know alot about u23 riders from other countries only our own, it is good to get a bit of info about other riders so we know who to look out for during the race.

Thanks for clearing that up, would have been easier to have said that in the first place instead of comming over all high and mighty.

 

[Arredondo]

So Lopez crashed hard during the TT, too bad.
