Unfortunately for Froomey, Sky aren't bringing any of their classics guys. I think Henao will go as well. That's not a great TTT lineup so far.

Definitely not the strongest but id guess that the likes of kiriyenka, cataldo, siutsou may be added which beefs it up a bit

I can't decide, I could see any of these guys winning.
Well...except Nibali. :p

One things for sure this is going to be a great race! Who's going to be Sky's leader by the way. Froome or the Colombians?

Obviously Froome, he has shape so he should always be the leader then.

Battle of the titans. And true all 5 of them could win but I think it'll be between Contador and Froome. But you know what happens when 2 dogs fight for a bone ;)

I think Froome has a big chance here, so I am going for him, but really I just want to see all of these guys have a great battle.

Would like it if a guy like Nibali won - he's cool and a very offensive rider.

I don't mind who wins it as long as the racing is as entertaining as the last couple of days in Oman. I dont think there will be a lot between the top 4 or 5 main guys.

Phinney and Evans will crush everyone in the TTT, all over after that.

Agreed. BMC should crush the opposition in the TTT although the MTF should make the difference and decide who wins the GC.

Froome appears to be the favourite, sadly.
Looks like at least in this forum Froome and Alberto are both pretty close in the favorite spot. with stages that are longer and a TTT and ITT, Evan who has won it before should be considered a danger. TA was always a race made for the italian. Can we expect an unknown challenger to surface from second tier candidates?

I think BMC will win in the TTT after last years disaster.

Evans FTW.

Looking forward to the race.

Voted for Froome but Evans & Contador will be very close. The difference will be made in Team trial I guess.

Depending on who they send, Astana might be not that far behind.
Sky's lineup is looking very climbing oriented so far but they'll add a couple good TTers for sure.
