Is there any speculation on who will be on the US team at the World Champs for USA??

Road Race: Farrar is riding but probably won't make the hills. Anyone else been mentioned? If it weren't so long perhaps Phinney but it is too long for him. Big George??

Time Trial: Favorites have to be Zabriskie, Leipheimer (though I thought I heard he wouldn't participate). Others could be VDV, Hinc, VanGarderen, Phinney...


Ok, who am I missing??

Phinney will be riding the u23 events I imagine. He'd be useless in the regular classificaton. Farrar can handle hills better then he can at this point.

well whomever wins the TT hopefully will go. Of course most of the US champions never go, very lame on their part.
