Who wins USA Pro Challenge 2011?

[cineteq]

So who will win the maiden Colorado Tour and why?
My pick is Gesink. I think he must have recovered from TdF crash and should have pretty good legs at this point. Ah and I forgot, he loves racing in North America.

PS: Leipheimer has already peaked.

There's nothing in the route that should drop Levi or TJ, so it's all on the TT sadly.

1.henao

3.baez
4.danielson
5.levi
6.pedraza
7.cadel
8.acevedo
9.suarez
10.basso

[Carols]

Levi
Evans (if he's motivated)
TeeJay

Prologue and ITT favor them, plus no MTF or really steep climbs...

 

[singlecog]

its going to come down to the ITT cause there arent any hilltop finishes.

depends if evans wants it, better Time trialler than Levi, but Levi in his home country may dig alot deeper to win.

Cant see andy S inside top 10

 

[LukeSchmid]

Voted van Garderen, not really sure why.

 

[JA.Tri]

TJ
Cadel (I don't see his participation as just attending to make up numbers)
Levi

 

[Havetts]

Levi is probably going to win this one, really hoping for Gesink that he'll be showing his face .

 

[just some guy]

We will be able to tell after 2 days.

Evans should win if he and his body is up for it, if not TJVG for me

well to be honest AOBL Anyone One But Levi

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

probably levi

 

[Fetisoff]

 

[Tank Engine]

It'll be a decent time trialler who can climb. Evans and TJ will be up there with the follically challenged Retirement Shack bloke. Voted for TJ as I'm guessing he's more motivated for this race than Evans.

 

[RiccoDinko]

Evans should beat Levi in the TT, then wheelsuck Levi all the way to Denver.

Which wheel is Levi Following then ?

No one in Holland will be watching, which usually means that Gesink will do great.

 

[jobiwan]

I can't believe Ferminal voted for Andy!!! Even I wouldn't do that here, but I'm of course hoping he surprises!

I really think Tommy D can do this. I think he can beat Leipheimer in the Vail TT, which is where it'll probably be decided. Unless of course the Colombians decide to attack on the flat stages

 

[Anonymous]

Voted for Ivan but i think Levi.

 

[mewmewmew13]

I'll pick Evans...although it worries me that he posted the photo of the massive burger and fries that he ate when he arrived in the US.

Evans
TJVG for 1, 2

I hope Levi is too tired and not at his peak anymore...Gesink hasn't impressed all year...

Chris Baldwin making the top 10 would make me wildly happy!! homie...

 

[Mellow Velo]

= winner!

 

[Duartista]

Yep, I think Leipheimer will win this fairly comfortably. Maybe Danielson can give him a run for his money, or Evans if takes the thing seriously.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Wow great competition
Is this race new? Seems like a great race. The route and the riders are fantastic!

 

[Havetts]

No one in Holland will be watching, which usually means that Gesink will do great.

That is true too.
