Wiggins will certainly win tomorrow, Cancellara 2nd and Martin 3rd or 4th. To me Tony is not in any shape this year. He has not won any time trials this year out right (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm hardly hearing anything about Menchov. Radio Shack Nissan Trek should still have Frank as a leader because I'm still seeing him in the top 10.

I'll go for Cancellara he seems to be in topform,and I expect Wiggins and Evans to be much closer to each other than most expect. A surprise could come from Menchov (although not as winner) |

Is Westra injured? Plan to play a heads up between him and Coppel with Coppel as a winner. |

Wiggins will be best of the favorites, but i expect Spartacus to win on home soil. It will be close between Evans and Menchov (i hope). Nibbles i hope will struggle. Frank will finally drop too far back to be considered as a leader, allowing Zubeldia or Kloden to become leader, maybe even Monfort.

I'll stand up and clap if Nibali does a time trial that good

He won the TT in the Tour of Belgium ahead of Westra.

Wiggins must be the favorite.
Cancellara and Martin are outsiders. Cancellara tried to defend yellow as as possible and Martin had his crashes.
How about Zubeldia?? 
Cancellara did not defended anything today..he lost almost 13min. today. |

I guess being hit by a car would ruin your form.
Personally id say he'd be more worried by the scaphoid injury than his form.

Something to take note off.
"Sports director Sean Yates said Wiggins, Froome and three-time world time trial champion Mick Rogers will ride “full gas,” while the rest of the team will ride easy to save their legs for the coming battle."

Sad thing for him (and my fantasy team  ) was it was finally coming together and he was going very well before the mechanical in the prologue. |

True to all that but since Tony went to that team he has not done very well. I think Tony should try and be a more well rounded rider than just a time trialist. The tour has become too easy for Wiggins and Evans. I thought Basso, S.Sanchez (whose injured), Valverde, Da Costa and even Leipheimer would of been a challenge but they're out shape.

Wiggins, Cance and Froome top favourites for me. Dark horse is Peter Velits for me, nobody mentioned him, but he is usually great in GT time-trials, especially in the last week, but i see him in the top 10 at least today also.

If it wasn't for puncture, Tony could've ended in maillot jaune for a week. If that's bad form then bring it on i wanna have bad form.

I am not sure how fit is T.Martin, normally he is 100% candidate for top 3 finish along with Cancellara and Wiggins
other candidates for top 5 for me are Froome, Van Garderen, P.Velits, Evans, Menchov, R.Porte |

Only 3 Sky riders will go 100%  Porte ( adn EBH ) are not one of them as you could guess .
Sylvain Chavanel with the form he has might be dark horse, did well at long TT at Dauphine and should do well here. Top 5 might be a bit of stretch thoughk.
