After T.Martins unbelievable performance in today's Vuelta stage I'll be rooting for him, despite being British (Bradley Wiggins/Froome)

Who do you think will win?

(Please note: I am not sure if everyone I list in the poll is actually racing!)

Rest ( Phinney, Van Garderen, Malori, Pinotti, Kesiakoff, Cancellara, Porte etc )

AS last year proved, bronze medal could be bit of surprise.

I think Gold and Silver will be guaranteed though for Martin and Wiggins bar accidents.

Phinney will win by well over a minute. :cool:

Nah, but that would be cool. :p Tony will take this, I'll be cheering for him and Phinney.
 
Wiggins

Kerrison just found out the secret of gaining weight to win tts that no one has ever thought of. Kerrison aka god has changed physics. Last year he said "let anorexics win tts" and they won tts. this year he says " let heavy riders win tts" and wiggins will be dancing all the way to the worlds tt podium.

Im rooting for Phinney, but I think Martin will take it. Wiggins seems to be a bit unpredictable, and while he certainly has the ability to crush it, I think Martin is the safer pick at this point.
 
Martin. I did not like him too much, especially with his pre Tour commends about how dangerous the road is. But after the crash in Tour, he proved next days he is not cry baby at all. His performance has nailed it yesterday.

Martin has never been a cry baby when it comes to action on the road. Tough as nails. Always has been. I would ignore the comment.

Anyway Martin to take this, but Sir Wiggo will be flying and still be able to take interviews right after the line.
 
Martin for me, Wiggins will be closest. It's worth mentioning, though, that according to Rolf Sørensen who's a friend of Max Sciandri, Phinney's home is actually on the route, and he's training the exact route day in and day out.

Kessiakoff is not riding, citing a too flat course as the reason.
 
The Panzerwagon is already training for this it seems. Martin by 30" with Luke Durbridge and Taylor Phinney to surprise with very solid rides. These two will take over in a couple of years.

Is Dowsett riding? He could surprise if on form as well

I think 50/50 between Martin and Wiggins, but still vote for Wiggins since I support him. Hopefully people won't be too mad if Wiggins wins.

seriously, i think wiggins will take it.

I can predict even more. Many people will say that it's dishonest because Tony Martin can't believe it. It's pity Froome is unlikely to win. To read the forum after it would be fantastic! :D

Just wanted to go on record and say Phinney. He lives on the route. It's gonna be a good WC ITT this year. All the best will be there. Martin, Canc and Wiggins - one of them wont get medals - that'll be dissapointing
 
I thought Canc was not doing it, nor Froome (who would not win if he was doing it if Martin or Wiggins are on form)

Between Martin and Wiggins (if he has not spent too much time drinking beer), too close to call though.
