I bet for Rabobank.
Watch out with astana, they could make a good time and Argos-Shimano also.
Sky and Radioshack another possible winners but i'm going with the orange team. |

I hope for a good time for OPQS, but I think that GreenEdge will win this

OPQS should win this if you ask me. But with Sky in the race I'm not that sure.

I have a feeling Sky will win especially being out so late compared to other favorites.
Bonus question: who dons the leaders jersey after today?
I'm going out on a limb and saying Ian Stannard |

I personally think Sky will not win this. I could be wrong though 
It's quite technical TTT and so hope all big GC riders ( and everyone really ) avoids any nasty crashes.

I hate you Fickman. Put over an hour into a full week 1 thread to see you have made a stage one in the meantime. Seriously, a stage one for the Vuelta??? There wasn't even one for the Giro, which is much bigger!

I thought you were going to Poland on foot.
Why the hell do they need a 4 minutes interval between each team on 16 km ? Even a rider riding solo and taking it half-seriously wouldn't lose that much to the winning team. |
