Ah okay, probably not a Sagan replay then.

I'm betting Cancellara, he should be fully recovered by now and ready to show his power again! |

Engoulvent, hmmm... Possibly. Though I think a shorter route would've suited him better! |

So I'm putting together my manager team for the prologue, but I cannot decide on this one, so please do help boys!
If you could choose only two of the following guys for tomorrow, who would it be?
Cancellara
Martin
Wiggins
So far I've gone with Cance and Wiggins..

I would personally go with Cancellara and Martin.
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring.

Normally I would too, but Wiggins is definitely in better shape than the both of them. Okay Martin won the German Nationals, but look at the guys he beat and go figure. I'm pretty confident that Wiggins will go faster than at least one of them, heck he stands a very good chance indeed of taking yellow tomorrow.
Looking at how Cancellara fared in Suisse and Martin in Dauphine, I'd think Cancellara has the edge for the time being, but who knows what they have been up to since..

Wiggins tomorrow for me. Cancellara isn't in top shape yet, while the course doesn't suit Martin. Sagan for a Top 5, but I doubt more than that.
And of course, Larsson and Kessiakoff for a Top 10.

So I could need some last minute aid. I am playing a "manager" game on danish TV2, and this is my team for the prologue. No Wiggo as he costs 1/4 of the total budget:
Fabian Cancellara
Peter Sagan
Tony Martin
Edvald Boasson Hagen
Michael Rogers
Gustav Erik Larsson
Brett Lancaster
Andrey Grivko
Patrick Gretsch
Anyone needed on that team? Who? And who should I take out?

I'd take Engoulvent and then you're all set! |

Take Gretsch out, he was shit at the German TT championships. Beaten by rider like Peter Renner (not even a pro rider) and Nils Plötner.

Why all the fuss with Engoulvent? The guy only does well on the Luxembourg prologue. Literally.

I don't know. He's always a good prologue rider. Though it should be even shorter for him.
He's still a pretty decent prologue rider, maybe not the best there is, but I'd put him on my top 10. |

He also won the Volta a Portugal prologue a couple of years ago. |
