both TT's look exciting, with the uphill finishes, i wouldn't back Cancellara to win again
the mens RR doesn't look that taxing, but obviously i'm only going on a few pics

there's two possibilities:
1. a break makes it (unlikely)
2. a solo attack (even more unlikely)
3. an uphill sprint (most likely)
given the incline, Freire Bennati and Bettini are out of the question.
it's more a Di Luca-type sprint. I can see RebellĂn having a chance. Cunego might as well, if he's there.
as for solo attackers, I'd give the most chances to Schumacher, by far. the team gave him license to build his season around this race, and he's done so. he's probably the only guy to have used the Tour de France as a warm-up race.

very goiod team for GB Women, and as to the mens, should be good to see who actually gets our 3rd place
although i'm still slightly in shock as to Cavendish riding
he must want to finish last, i know it's because GB think he can win the WC one year and this is experience for future WC races he does, but still it will be very hard work for him, and i'd be slightly suprised if he even finished

here's the worst part: I noticed it and for some reason didn't change it 
anyway, who cares about dividing people into groups and statistics....after all, 34% of all statistics are made up on the moment

i would be in a severe state of shock if Millar won, but no-one would be able to tell through the sheer delight
and he has shown that he is good up the slopes, he has a good sprint on him and can attack very hard,
obviously there are more likley candidates, but he could suprise a few

that honour is always reserved for Pagliarini. who for some reason always does a wheelie when he comes through the line...

Millar could do the double
The TT course should definately suit him though.

yes the TT course is very suited to him and he could do very well, as i think that Cancellara definatley won't win
