I wonder how many champion shirts they can take... They have a global team so lots of nationals represented from there. I think Cav will have a shot at the Brit Title the year also. |

As I said somewhere else: that was a weak, weak field.
There will be no Austrian TT nationals. They're delayed until september.

Valverde for Spanish National champ is my guess. If hes ready for the tour i think that would be a nice victory to have before hand |

Just playing PCM08 and seeing them in a TTT, I see more champ shirts than High Road ones...

Im hoping that both Millar and Wiggins will ride the British TT Champs - I also hope theyve moved it to June but I bet its still going to be in September.
I also hope either Millar or Cavendish wins the RR champs since they will definately be able to showcase the jersey, unlike probable favourite Russ Downing who tends to ride mainly in Britain alone

The Spanish champs' circuit will be a tough one. Only three laps to a big route, but a huge climb towrds the Piélagos on the center part of it. Around 210 kilometers to decide the national champion. And I bet it won't be Valverde. Always a surprise on it, Valverde did was set to be the champion last year, but he let JoaquÃm go and take the jersey on the climb up Cuenca's Castle. |

Be sure they are, but, unfortunately, it's not clear a national TV station will broadcast it. Last year, a new - nationwide channel ("La Sexta") took the rights, but it's very unlikely they'll do so again...
