Sam Sanchez has been eyeing Worlds all year. With a 1/3rd of a GT in his legs all year it will be interesting to see how he goes. Quebec and Montreal will tell a lot.

Poels and Gesink leaders for Holland? and Hoogerland doing his thing?

edit: Didn't realize how srs Poels's tour injury was
 
Cannot see Froome doing much tbh, think he will be over cooked from a busy year.

We (GB) could have had a stronger U23 team, but we didnt acrue enough points in some of the races because GB didnt send a team to certain races. I have been told we havent had an invite to the Tour de l'Avenir due to this too.

so what are the predictions for the TTT? seems pretty open, Germany has the edge in power, but who will ride the best on the 16th?
I hope Sagan wins the RR, he will make an interesting (and aggressive) rainbow jersey to watch next season
it is going to be a great race, can't wait!

Germany won't win the TTT, unless you mean Team NetApp. The TTT is being raced by trade teams, not countries.

I'm interested to see which of the 32 invited teams actually accepted their invites.

The invitees are at http://uciworldtour.com/Modules/BUI...bjTypeCode=FILE&type=FILE&id=Nzk4Mjc&LangId=1

Brechel not to forget on a route like this, but a 3 men squard will make it very hard. Albasini, Boonen, Gilbert and Sagan big favorites.

u23 races won't have any images, apparently the dutch broadcaster didn't need to give guarantees for that. Were lucky Vos is dutch or else we probably wouldn't get to see anything from that either. :eek:
