Would love to see Sagan smash it, and pinch some arses on the podium

 

[manafana]

sagan if hes bothered, expect good run from tom and rohan here.

 

[glassmoon]

i'm going full-*** here and saying: Schleck will win this TT.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

No love for Tony Martin at all? Not even a mention of him? Not the TT he would design for himself, sure, but has he no chance of a decent position?

I know. Everyone has written him off.

He'll win!

I'm looking forward to seing what Craddock can do in this race.....Hopefully some of his form from TOC is brought along to Switzerland.

Not that he will be top10 in the prologue though, that'll be one for Costa/Wiggins/Sagan.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Does Cancellara stil have a TT bike?

 

[Arkaitz]

Fabian Cancellara win this and Sagan 2nd finishing the stage with a no handed wheelie.

 

[rainman]

Rain due this afternoon. Not sure how tech the descent is, maybe three hairpins, cd spoil things for Wiggins?

 

[Anderis]

Dumoulin to come second.

Nah, second is reserved for Rohan Dennis.

His performances since the beginning of 2013 in TT and prologues.
Wins: 0
2nd places: 7

Youre right, Dumoulin used to be the king of second place TT's untill he won one this season, beating Rohan Dennis.

This race sure has a wealth of stars taking part!

 

[Tournesol]
