Still, hoping Kessiakoff will break into top 5. :)

My favorite is Kessiakoff. Contador has a good change, too. I think Tony Martin won't won, because of the hilly course.

I don't think the climbs/descents are significant enough to give Kessiakoff the edge. He's not really a good time trialist on the flat. His position is a lot less aerodynamic than the pure specialist's and he hasn't really trained specifically for it either.

Has the Team TT given us an insight into who will do well in the ITT?

Yes indeed...

It is Martin's race to lose...TJ should go well IMO!

I think it's between Contador or Martin. Kessiakoff would suprise me alot since has got kneeproblems in The Vuelta and haven't train as much as he wanted to.

I was going to mention TJ but thought it might be a bit cheeky. I see it wasn't too rude!! Though i do suspect he may do well.

I'm sticking with chavanel as my pick

That would be a bit of a surprise.

It's between Tony and Alberto imo, I will be cheering for Alberto :) but I wouldn't mind Tony either :)

And Alberto is not winning the poll, this is good :)

He was winning the poll in the vuelta, just saying, your "theory" doesn't always work.

He wasn't in the last poll :)

Yeah but he was leading in the previous ones and before the vuelta he was the fav.

Btw what about the giro '11 poll or the one of the tour '09/'10 ?

It's stupid superstition, that's all. And it's the superstition of a fan, like that would affect Contador lol

Velits definately could do it. Problem is he sucked hard in 2010 after his brilliant Vuelta form so i think thats why people are a bit sceptical.
