I think it's too much time trailing for Cunego. Kreuziger should be decent. Never underestimate Evens and it certainly would be interesting to see TJVG as a leader after what he showed in LBL. Also, it seems like Iglinskiy is at the start, and with no relay decisive climbs and his form he could be up there. Another rider who did well in LBL and might bring some form into Romandie is Rolland.
Mollema deserves a win after his excellent Pais Vasco + Ardennes campaign. Probably not the overall, but maybe a stage is within his reach.

I'd like a Machado win but with the curse of RSNT suckiness that has plagued their riders since the cobbled classics I doubt it. He'll probably perform poorly in the TT.

Geraint Thomas maybe. I think its his first race back on the road after his team pursuiting so he might have the neccesary power in his legs for such a short effort.

Sounds like Wiggins for this one, but I'd imagine Porte and Froome (health allowing) should both still be there come the final TT.

Durbridge = Turbo Diesel. Or am I wrong? I should have read the thread, it's the other Turbo_Diesel!
Wiggins is very good at them. He won the Giro prologue in 2010, also was there or thereabouts in Crit Int and I think Eneco in the last few years. Had that disastrous Tour de France prologue in the 2010 where they stupidly tried to predict the weather, but ended up riding ultra-cautiously in the rain.
Over 3.3k everyone has a chance.

Yeah I went back and read the posts. I was thinking "prologue" and got too excited about knowing an answer.
The 'Turbo' was referring to Turbo-Durbo Luke Durbridge. I assume the 'Diesel' from the following post was simply word play. ~3-4km flat, non-technical, should be good for Durbridge, but I hadn't noticed Geraint Thomas was listed which another poster brought up, so I think he'd be a great chance as well.
Any idea who's riding for Euskaltel instead of Anton?? (he's still up on the startlist on the site)
