This unpreedictable South African race returns. Who will win it?
Possible contenders include:
Kreuziger, Grivko (B&O)
Barbosa (Fed-Ex)
Vicioso (Gatorade)
Sulzberger, Terpstra (IrnBru)
Mazzanti (Molteni)
Froome (Procycling)
Bertagnolli (Wiggle)
Vansummeren (Ernst + Young)
Benfica, Dasani, NVidia, Slipstream B and Pearl Jam B will also look to threaten.

Bertagnolli!!! whooo!!! He better start doing something as i feel he may not be a domestique next year....  So i've taken advantage of the vast number of race days he has. If i'm not mistaken, he's backed up by super-breakaway-specialist Cummings B) So i've covered all angles...

Vicioso will win because this is his 1st race and he is ready to show.

I suppose Lindgren is a TT favorite with 75, so a possible two stage wins right there... |

I didnt really look at TT riders but I know that theres the likes of Kreuziger, Bouet and Jacques-Maynes here aswell.

Scholz and Stamsnijder will perform alright for me in the TT's. And they ain't all that bad on the hills either. Though i don't know whether Bertagnolli will actually be given the leaders role by the AI or whether he'll just be a domestique... be interesting to see.

I would've liked to send a stronger TT'er but the race clashes with the Bikeline 2 day race - a sponsor goal for Irn Bru - RBS. I can only really hope for stage wins I think, because Sulzberger is pretty awful as a time trialist. 
I do have Terpstra though - hes pretty good at everything, particularly breakaways B) |

The bike line is also a sponsors goal for me too! Top 5 overall for me... B)

My set-up is Vansummeren for the overall
Lindgren (TT) and Rast (RR) for Stage Wins
I doubt I will be a big factor in the breaks which is unfortunate, as I expect one to survive in the race |

Vicioso is a fairly good TT so I hope for the GC or at least high in the GC.

Criel is only 23 seconds back on the GC...As the best overall rider in my startlist I'm hoping for another Top-Ten. |
