A well rounded Australian team for the WC - Have no problem with Ewan making the distance - Was in the sprint finish of a 230km stage in the Giro - Reckon Dennis is the favorite in the Mens TT as he is better suited by the flat parcours.
Garfoot should medal in the Women's TT, now that she's back to full fitness, and Hosking must have a chance in the women's RR.
Doubt Australia has much hope in the under 23 races.

Norway seniors according to procycling.no
Alexander Kristoff (KAT)
Edvald Boasson Hagen (DD)
Sondre Holst Enger (IAM)
Sven Erik Bystrøm (KAT)
Vegard Breen (Fortuneo)
Vegard Stake Laengen (IAM)
Daniel Hoelgaard (FDJ)
Kristoffer Skjerping (CAN)
Truls Engen Korsæth. (Joker)
For TT I would guess EBH/Stake - Korseth reserve.
It's a strong team even if only the two at top is really well known.
It will apparently be official at tuesday, but I can't see who will be out. Skjerping did good in Alberta so looks like the form came at last.

Re:
What about Germany? Not only can Martin and Gretsch ride most of the 260kms on the front by themselves, they have Kittel and Greipel with 22 wins between them and Degenkolb to lead out.Billie said:
Re:
Strong team for the flat and if there is potential crosswind. Dowsett and Thomas to do the TT but no idea who the rider they leave out of the RR will be, one of Thwaites or Dowsett would be my guess.

Boom should be the other if he makes something good in the next stages of the Eneco .GP Blanco said:
Re: Re:
He don't want to go because he wants to prepare for CX. Boy van Poppel, Roosen or Leezer will be better options.

Today was probably the last chance for Kittel to impress? German coaches should opt for Greipel I guess.
Re:
Yea, i have dreamt about Greipel winning .. And im not German. I think he will take the right wheel as always, the wheel to victory is Kristoffs as usual. He starts his power sprint 50 meters before Degenkolbs, then Greipel wins in the the last 20 meters. Thats my dream.
And im usually right

Lets just hope Kristoff dont win the worlds, or else Norway will go bananas! And all the oil money will be put into Cycling teams and ull never see the end of it..
Re: Re:
Blythe has a very poor record of being able to finish races of 250k plus. McLay has only ever ridden one and was DNF. In contrast Thwaites is very good in the wind and has completed all his last 6 races of 250k plus inc, the likes of Roubaix, Flanders and last years Worlds. He can also serve as lead out if required, which is what he does for the Bora sprinters. Cannot see him being dropped out,

Worth protecting Dylan however. Never know what could happen, but I agree that Terpstra should be team leader. Powerful team there.
Spanish preselection
Jorge Arcas
Carlos Barbero
Jonathan Castroviejo
David de la Cruz
Imanol Erviti
Omar Fraile
Gorka Izagirre
Juanjo Lobato
Luis Ángel Maté
Eduard Prades
Diego Rubio
Héctor Sáez
Alejandro Valverde
Fran Ventoso
As expected, quite weak for this kind of terrain. Looking forward for Erviti.

Re:
It's a pity that Tom Veelers is still injured, one hell of a leadout man.
Other options, Roosen, Sinkeldam, Boy van Poppel?
