C'mon Rajesh make us proud again!
Probably he will be somewhere between 4th and 10th - as always.. Can't complain but a podium or even a win would be nice once in a while.
In the end, I don't really care about points at this late part of the season..

I bring you the race you have all been waiting for: A Chinese stage race without a single KOM:
As is obvious this is all about the sprinters. On paper Abasi Abundi is the strongest, but guys like Kristoff, Hanzen and Calzone along with the MTN duo of Kennedy and Guido will be determined to challenge him and could very well have the stronger teams in the finale.
Epic riders participating: Sinaga & A.Feunard (Sojasun), Walker & Hägg (NetApp), Schmidt, Kennedy and Guido (MTN), V.Feunard (Accent Jobs), Bousch (Bardiani), Calzone (Androni), Hanzen (Sky) and Abundi (CCC).

Stage 5 looks like Adriens best chance for a win, although his sprining has been good in this part of the season. He also has a good record against Abundi and a fairly strong support team. A stage win would be very nice indeed.

Not quite a clear sprint train, but with Wiggins as second and Hayman as first leadout man everything is possible |

Just made a rookie error and belived that there were more hills .. If just Abundi would be able to get some good results, in order to make up for this bad season, as said before I don't like his stats

Come on Mario, show that Italian national coach what an idiot he is for not selecting you!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Yes, because showing yourself at a flat stage race is the way to get selected for a 1-day hilly race.
Only went to Hainan because some riders had a lot of race days left so I'm not expecting much here. But with Sagan you never know. |

Good luck with this one Atlantius, hopefully you don't get too demoralised!
I guess the Chinese team had too many races to enter already, so they skipped this one. |

Emilia- Hoping for a successful breakaway from Chiarini.
Hainan- I think my goal is a stage win and hopefully my sprint train of Felline, Gavazzi and Calzone can deliver.
