    I think EBH and Chris Sutton will be the two riders thast everyone will pick first for the TDU as guaranteed high points scorers. 😕

    Or do you disagree?

    EBH is the guy to have, I wouldn’t think Sutton though, I’d have Goss, Meyer and Renshaw ahead of Sutton

    It’s always a gamble … Usually the Australians and New-Zealanders have already hit form and it is hard to tell what the objective for the Europeans is … Just getting the miles in or preparing for the spring classics.And just maybe go all out for a win.
    I’m gonna have a shot at Valverde on Willunga Hill though.

    I think I have gone for a coule of certs, but I am now worried that I have gone too left field (or is that too Lanterne Rouge in cycling speak) with about 3 of my picks. . . . after all, how many spaniardsa have ever won the TDU?

    Looking to last season at the same time, Haussler showed good form; the Aussies who finished thier national RR are probably in better shape than many others coming into the TDU; on top of that, Renshaw has something to prove, much like Griepel did last season. He might take the chance to show it here. Gerrans has the punch that won him stages in all three GTs, so he’s a safe bet after coming of the RR with the champs jersey. For me it’s these three; as for DSs, looking for people that might double for Paris-Nice to get so trades aren’t burnt up as reports start to come out on who’s on form and who isn’t. Or, some people with a history of being enterprising in the classics.

    Personally, I don’t believe in it. Another rider who I will pay attention is Valverde. He could suprise on Willunga Hill, although is coming back after the suspension.

    I personally think it will be EBH who goes for it big style with Renshaw hot on his heels. I know Renshaw will no doubt be lined up to lead someone out but i fancy him for at least one stage.

    Or was Goss pacing himself, waiting for the tdu?
    Whereas Gerrans got his reward at the champs and is happy to lead out his teammates in the TDU?

    But Goss had a really bad performance in the australian championships. I’d say Gerrans and Lloyd. Both show that are in shape.

    The course is definitely suited to a strong sprinter like EBH. I just wonder how many of the non-Aussie big hitters will be targeting this race. Many of them will be targeting the spring classics, so they don’t want to give it their all now. I’m going with Haussler as a good early season bet. (He did well in the Middle East races last year.)
