Who will win the Olympic ITT?

[jyhjyh]

Is Wiggins really better than a hopefully healthy Tony Martin and a fresh Cancellara and Froom?

 

[MartinGT]

Tony Martin IMO.

 

[SafeBet]

Need a poll.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Spartacus to show them who's boss!

 

[The Cobra]

Tony Martin probably, although by not as big a margin as the last Worlds.

Wiggins seems to have gone to another level in the TT since then.

Fabian wants this badly and will back to his best.

Barring any mechanical/crashes can't see anyone else really challenging for medals. Froome will be up there ofcourse but not on the same level as these guys.

 

[taiwan]

Yeah Wiggins.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Martin is my guess.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Think it’ll be between Cancellara and Wiggins, TM’s season has been pretty disastrous for him and I don’t see him turning it around which is a shame but narrows it down to a straight fight between Canc & Wiggo, how tired will Wiggins be and how much quality practise is Cancellara getting in at the moment? I wouldn't be surprised to see Wiggins clinical performances continue for the gold.

 

[Pentacycle]

Who's responsible for London athletes to appear like this on the official start list?

On topic: Wiggins should take it easily before Cancellara. Guys like Navardauskas, Phinney or Kwiatkowski could get on the podium imo, as it's not clear whether Martin has recovered well.

 

[Caruut]

I don't know, but I think the result of the road race may play a part. If Cavendish wins there, not only is it likely that Wiggins will have spent energy aiding him, but the pressure on Wiggins to deliver a gold for cycling at a home Olympics is off. His season couldn't have been much better than it has been, so I'm really not sure how motivated he's going to be, unless he is the only road cycling medal hope for Britain.

Fabian, on the other hand, strikes me as a man with a point to prove. His stint in yellow rescued a disappointing season (Strade Bianche notwithstanding), but for a rider of his quality would really be wanting far more from the year.

Sadly for Tony Martin, it doesn't look like he's going to be back to his best for this year at least.

I think Cancellara and Wiggins will take gold and silver, but in what order I'm not too sure. I think my tip for bronze would be Chavanel. He has had a really good season and looked strong in the TdF TTs.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Last year I expected the podium to be Martin, Fabian, Wiggo, wasn't sure of the order, and really still am not sure.

With Tony not 100% I'd say its Wiggo/Fabian for Gold. Tony is going to have to ride well given his current fitness/form/injury to secure a medal given how well Froome is at this moment.

Even Lulu looks capable of having a ride that gets on/close to the Podium.

 

[The Hitch]

If Canc can get his top form, not even robowiggins can stop him.

 

[9000ft]

Armstrong


Kristen, that is.


There will be two olympic ITTs you know.

 

[barmaher]

I think Bradley Wiggins will win.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Martin siad that it would be a miracle if he takes a medal.
He isn't near 100% and therfore winning gold seems almost impossible.

 

[Yingge]

If Martin was 100%, I would have my money on him.

Else Cancellara.

I think Wiggins/Froome will be recovering from the TDF aftermath.

 

[iZnoGouD]

Wiggins will take it easy and probably still win anyways

 

[Jaunty Monty]

I don't know, but I think the result of the road race may play a part. If Cavendish wins there, not only is it likely that Wiggins will have spent energy aiding him,

Presumably Fab is in the RR too?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

If Canc can get his top form, not even robowiggins can stop him.

Sadly you have to go 2 years back for that top form in TTs, so it is by no means certain, or even likely, he'll find it.

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

Is Wiggins really better than a hopefully healthy Tony Martin and a fresh Cancellara and Froom?

Yes.

A healthy Martin and a fresh Cancellara will fight it out for the conveted bronze coloured medal.

 

[Bala Verde]

Is there a profile for the ITT?

 

[El Pistolero]

Wiggins will win with 2 minutes on Cancellara.

 

[FF'Wilco]

55% Wiggins
45% Cancellara

That is my opinion also.
