Valverde will complete a great season by winning the world championship. And hopefully, but doubtfully, Gesink will repeat as the World champion time trialer.

as di luca is the favourite at home, he'll win here, just as in Lombardia. that will keep him motivated to keep racing just as good next season so the stat decrease wont have any affect on him |

I've already said that i will fight for every young British rider, absolutely nothing will stop me signing them (i'm mainly talking about the 100%ME team and some GB team guys)
Even though they're young i've seen them all racing, and they are my favourite riders ever, even more than professional riders, so I will put all my money into bringing them to my CT team
pity Bellis didn't win, it would've been cool for him to have won
