    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.

    In fairness EBH was worth
    In fairness EBH was worth picking for the first 4 days of the TdF, decent prologue result, hilly finish, flat lead-out (5 points bonus) then another uphill finish meant he was up there with Sagan score wise after the first few stages.

    In a single time trial though he’s not nearly cheap enough to be worth a punt.

    So value for points he isn’t worth it, He’ll be one of the most unpicked riders this season I think

    He’s worth it in stage races that start with a TT/Prologue then have a few hilly sprints to follow AND when he’s not used as a super-domestique as in the TDF.

    RIGHT, conclusive evidence
    RIGHT, conclusive evidence that TVG will NOT be doing the TT

    Since no men’s road race athletes met the automatic criteria to compete in the individual time trial, Phinney received a discretionary nomination to fill the United States’ sole start position in the race against the clock. A former junior time trial world champion and one of the United States’ most talented up-and-coming time trialists, Phinney earned the prologue win against the world’s best in this season’s first grand tour, the Giro d’Italia.

    He’s not listed here, but then again either is Wiggo, seems to be around 5-8 riders missing 😕

    Random fact, Did you know that LL Sanchez’s brother plays for Real Madrid? I didn’t :B

    If Tejay rides then he’s in my team. If he doesn’t ride then that’ll probably help my team as he’s not cheap 😕

    Velonews just posted this 2 hours ago: http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/07/news/london-olympics-time-trial-preliminary-starters-list_232362

    It has Tejay on the startlist, as well as Kwiatkowski (who was another one left off the cyclingfever list.

    As for top 5, I’ll go:

    Wiggins
    Froome
    Sanchez
    Phinney (almost hurts to write this… if he finishes 4th twice the kid may never recover with how he looked after the road race)
    Martin
