Olympic TT

So who you got?

Seems like an easy-to-tier event, which means I'll be completely wrong, but if I'm making tiers for the race it looks something like this:

Tier 1: Wiggins
Tier 2: Martin, Cancellara (depends on how close he is to 100%), Froome
Tier 3: Chavanel, Pinotti, Sanchez
Tier 4: Fuglsang, van Garderen (is he in the race?), Phinney, Larsson, Westra, Grabsch, Kwiatkowski (is he in the race?)

Everybody else. OK, I probably missed a couple guys... looked at this in a hurry. So who'd I miss? Or who do I have completely wrong.

you have 7 the same as me Alan, I have 8 rather than 6 meaning I had to go for 31 rather than 19

I was 50/50 between 6 and 8 but didn't fancy trying to pick last place. Reckon a lot of teams will be very similar. Originally had 10 and 12 for 6 and 9.

Frankiejay - sub out Sanchez for Pinotti and Akdylek for Haghi and you have my team. Fingers crossed on last place!

I actually think Sanchez seems in really good form and will probably be ahead of Pinotti, but Sanchez always seems really popular in this game so I thought less people would have Pinotti. Reading that it sounds like very flawed logic, but I'm sticking with it now!

Wiggins
Martin
Pinotti
Sanchez
Westra
Oliveira
Grabsch
Lahsaini
Bauer

Had considered upgrading Pinotti for Cancellara/Froome and really skimping on my DSs but I see both of them as risky. Froome will be popular but I think won't medal and Cancellara may or may not still be feeling the effects of his crash.

Froome

Sanchez
Larsson
Westra
Phinney
Akdilek
McCann

The first 7 all have a chance of finishing in the top 10, Akdilek is my pick for last man home, and McCann is a bit of a wildcard.
