WORLDS ITT

    The most open ITT I can remember with no Wiggins,Cancellara,Froome,Evans etc.

    Martin’s form not the best and the course is not really the best for him but class is permanent or can Contador recover after his Vuelta exploits?I doubt anyone will have both with the quality DS’ involved.

    At least 2 and probably 3 of Chavanel,Kessiakoff,Pinotti and Tejay will most likely be in all teams and that may well be where the scoring splits occur.

    Velits may be worth a go? Are we getting 5pt team-mate bonuses for trade teams?

    Then the plethora of high priced DS’ all with good claims to place highly.

    Phinney is always a threat

    Larsson may find it too lumpy

    Westra will like the terrain and have home advantage

    Meyer may be t-o-o-o expensive

    Grabsch can destroy anyone on his day

    Gretsch rounds out a good German team

    Tuft took the ENECO ITT

    Castroviejo is in ahead of some other decent Spanish TT’ers so must be in form

    Plus a couple of real secret weapons with the right research.

    Anyone looking at anyone outside of those mentioned?

    Kept away from some of the
    Kept away from some of the big boys so i could go for some better ds’. My No 1 winning super team looks like this:

    Sylvain Chavanel
    Tejay van Garderen
    Peter Velits
    Fredrik Kessiakoff
    Jonathan Castroviejo
    Cameron Meyer
    Taylor Phinney
    Ramunas Navardauskas
    Luke Durbridge.

    Here’s hoping 😀

    Kessiakoff
    De Gendt
    Meyer
    Phinney
    Westra
    Durbridge
    Chtioui

    Covering as many bases as possible and I don’t think Martin will be competitve. No sure about Phinney and Durbridge, may be too hilly for them.

    The first 5 should be right up there. Kelderman & Durbridge were too cheap to ignore. The last two are an attempt to get last man home.

    All mine are in by the looks
    All mine are in by the looks of Gkam’s startlist but I’m a bit worried about some of the start-times…..who decides the seedings?

    Still aiming at a top 50 overall premium finish and need to make up 8 points to satisfy that.Quite a few ‘Forum-ers’in and around the 50th place (RCorbin,OButterwick,DrHeaton and WigBilly) so no mean feat…..although you’ll probably al crush me now by telling me they’re your purist teams :^o

    Depends how strong the wind is when they are on the course. The rain is the worrying point for most riders, you can add a canny chunk of time on for when its wet compared to the lads out when its dry.

    Its wide open this year and will be good to see a possibly lesser known rider wearing the bands compared to the usuual suspects.

    I dont know, if you filled your team with a certain Iranian i’m sure you would get at least one follower 😀

    Sir Walter might be his name =))

    Its never been a rule for 2
    Its never been a rule for 2 per nation and it would be a little pointless. There is no guaranteed winner, so if you want to fill your team with one national, fire away, no-one will be following you 😉
