Interesting to see who will lead for Britian, if they will let Froome go for it or let Cav sprint at the end.

I'm calling it now, Cav will under no circumstaces win it. I think somebody mentioned earlier that he's just there to help froome, out of gratitude for the help in Copenhagen '11. Wouldn't really fancy froomebot.exe's changes to much, except for if he's been working on a Special hill version of his super-retard mode. For me it's between Nibbles, Martin, Betancur, whoever the spanish captain will be (Purito? Moreno? Valverde?) and maybe Costa.

You're kidding, right? If not, do you know what the parcours looks like?

It's rumoured that the team will try to keep everything together in order for Cav to take the sprint. |

No way that will happen. Cav has admitted himself his there to help Froome. |

rumored by who! It's the toughest route in a good number of years, that will eliminate all but the very best from a finale. Even some of the climbers are going to struggle!

I wouldn't count on any of that. The TT podium is for Martin, Wiggins and Phinney, imo.
As for the road race, you're severely underestimating him. Top favourite along with Nibali in my opinion.
Wouldn't be so sure about that. There's quite a Long climb, isn't there? I think that would more favoure cancellara than Martin.

I think the fact that MrTeamSky was actually serious threw people off, but I would say all those who didn't respond to you did actually get the joke  |

Cancellara will not finish on the podium in the RR, he will drag a break along towards the finish and let other riders wheel suck there way to a win

Don't forget, Gerrans isn't there to do it.

Cancellara or Sagan won't win, half the peleton will be glued on their wheels. I think we will get a surprising winner. |

In the TT? It's pan flat, aside from a very short hill
Easy win for Martin as long as he doesn't crash

Nah, you might be right there.
Looking forward to it at least

Bert Grabsch to win. That 20 km long straight is perfect for him

Doing Mallorca-Andalucia-ParisNIce-Catalunya-Pays Vasco-Classics-Romandie was definatly too much.
He never recovered after. Should atleast leave out Catalunya out of a similar program next year

Well I've heard that the TT should be technical, so I'm not convinced that Martin would win it. |

Most of the course is a straight road. Look for yourself:
