Spain have by far the best team but unless they work to isolate Gilbert, this will be his world champs.

it wouldn't surprise me to see spanish and belgium watching each other too much while some1 from another nation rides into the sunset and gets the win.

Do you think Contador will just wait ? lol Not his style :D

Although I hope he will and saves up everything for the last time on the cauberg. The rest of them should make the course hard.

That's what the fanboy in me hopes. He can win it, besides he's a great TT'er so after the cauberg it should be easier for him to survive on the flat part.

He should go in a break. They have Purito and Valverde if it all comes back together.

Not a bad idea but don't work in the break, he has valverde and purito so he doesn't have to work and then poef away lol

But let's first see what he can do in the ITT

If Pat McQuack is giving the medals, any Spaniard whose name starts with Al will be fun to watch on the podium :D

LOL! This would be funny as all! Maybe Alberto could do the pistol shot at Pat with a smile 10 feet wide!:D

Spain has so many options in this race....get in the break, sit on a break, make Belgium work to bring it back....counter attack...should be fireworks!

The Spanish team will have many motivated riders...Alberto is fresh, Purito wants to erase his failures, Oscar is finishing a long career, Valverde would like to be the man again...gonna be tough across the board.

I predict a huge tactical flop from spain guys. They are as talented as egoistic;)


Someone ask about why Lulu wasn't on the list. See the last 10km Olympics and his words after the race

Could you remind us what his words were?

Tactical flop? You mean something like what Wiggo's boys did at the Olympics? :D

They have the guys to do a perfect tactical race, who's the DS?
Luisle is tired as seen in GPCQM.

A funnier flop, because they will accuse each other after the race

More or less he didn't pulled to chase Vino and Uran to let Valverde sprint because he didn't know who was the leader:rolleyes:

So he failed at his own game (a successful break in the last 10km) and refused to help his mate.

Spain are definitely the team to beat, but just having a strong team doesn't guarantee victory. Look at GB at the Olympics. Plus Spain has a lot of potential winners and I wonder how that could affect them. Italy I think has a very good chance, Nibali is looking in good form plus they have a very good team that will fully be able to support Nibali.

Spain and namely Valverde. It would be priceless to see Fat Pat giving a medal to him.

Though sadly its not likely I'm able to watch the race altogether (stupid work schedule):(

Spain has the best names overall

Italy has a very strong team, but without someone who can really make the race explode

Belgium has perhaps the favorite and quite a powerful team
