Most likely Froome will win the double or Valverde after doing a ridiculous super long peak (Giro + Tour + Olympics). Not looking forward to any of it.

Don't forget the Ardennes for Valverde's peak

According to PCS Germany is sending Maximilian Levy. :Question:

Germany aint going to win the road race, and this gives them an "extra" spot on the track

Correct decision from Kennaugh, must have been a hard call but he recognises he's not in the shape to contribute.

Cummings is a great addition to the GB team.
I'm sure cummings will ride strictly for himself now. revenge is a dish better served cold

IOC has allowed the russians to compete, but only athletes without a doping past. So no Rio for Zakarin.

At least he won a TdF stage, otherwise it would make no sense to be in France now.

Anacona is in pretty horrible form, relative, so that would be a downgrade. Pantano should obviously be the first priority.

And glad to see Quintana skips the Olympics. Really good move.

One of his only chances in his career to shine on his own continent on a race perfectly suitable for him? A shame.

You can argue that, and you are right, but he obviously isn't right..

I'd have no problem with that, in the form he is in this season a id love to see another solo attack.

It would be best for the team anyway to let Cummings do what he does best and have other teams ride

what about uran s chances?

In-form Urán would be a favourite. In a straightforward finale he would have won or placed second at the 2013 Worlds was it not for that nasty crash down the Fiesole. The problem is you never know how he'll present himself. Not these days anyway. And not because of lack of preparation, he's one of them real hard-workers.

This should be fun to watch on tv.. lots of big names going all-in in the break and back at the peloton will be hard to control and plenty of tactics... but i'll be live to cheer them on and for sure checking here to see whats going on..
So many options; Froome(of corse), Nibali, Valverde/Ion, Bardet, Porte, Superman Lopez, Poels, Zaka(!?), GVA, and so on...
the "easy" last 3km of the last climb+the technical descent+the last flat fast 10km(only 2 90o turns) make it hard to predict. at least for me...
should be good to bet on, i guess...
