Kristoff with a solid ride, could prove a very good contender against EBH in the Nats at the TT and Road Race.
EBH lost to Reidar freaking Borgersen last year. He is the favourite for the TT-title, but I think Kristoff, Hushovd, Nordhaug and Holst Enger will be stronger in the RR(which is in the Hushovd's hometown..). But I wouldn't be blown over if Kristoff wins the TT aswell..
I was under the impression that this was quite a hard course with a fairly difficult climb... so am I wrong because Millar and Cancellara wouldn't be up there if it were?
EDIT: Ah, there aren't many finishers so far. That would explain it...

The final climb is extremely hard.
Anton won the last time they climbed it. Some hilarious performances back then. Devolder above all
Is Cancellara really finished in TT? Because he did bad in Prologue too, and bad in Tour of Belgium TT too.
I don't know point of preparing for World Championships, he will be beaten by Tony Martins and Taylor Phinney.

1. He's off-form, just re-starting his training to peak in 3 months
2. It's a mountain TT
3. He's not doing the Worlds TT
EDIT: And a week ago in the prologue he was probably the fastest. But the wind changed into a headwind so anyone who started before that gained a huge time advantage, that's the only reason Meyer won the stage
