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.

Yup because he's British
Tomorrow morning when they open the roads again
I don't think there is a time out though
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.
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 have 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 19, 23, 25
and just so you know

you know its unlimited transfers right? so you can still change it stumps
Just to stir up a hornets nest i have 4 star riders and none of my ds are cycling as i picked my team early
Seems a slightly lob sided team as i dont think 1,2,3 will come 1,2,3....
For those in the know, I have riders 1,2,3,17,25,27,30,33,37
MAYBE or Maybe I have NONE of them 
Your team seems like it could be pretty similar to mine too
except at least one of you riders must be different
You must have the same team as me then
I have 9 riders, 4 stars and 5 DS
Barring any last minute news breakers I have my team set.
My stars are all European (but only 2/5 of my DS are);
I have two sets of riders from two countries;
One rider from the western hemisphere who I think has a chance to medal;
Two riders from east of Europe--one of which I am banking to finish last;
I only have multiple riders from one pro team;
At the last minute I went from three OPQ riders to one;
I have two riders over 30 points, two over 20 points, one over 10 points, one over 5 points, and three under 5 points.
Good luck figuring out my *winning* team
Am I down to do the itt? I can represent Greece. If bodnar is down for poland is he abit sharp as kwia looked ok for a pick.
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.
HI al has anyone got any spare tickets for the TT pburgoine [at] gmail.com
Thanks Paul
EBH is to expensive and not good enough to make top 5/6
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.
What about EBH, damn good tt'er.
RIGHT, conclusive evidence that TVG will NOT be doing the TT
http://www.usacycling.org/usa-cycling-announces-2012-olympic-team.htm
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
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
As far as i know Tejay and Kwiatowski are not riding, based on what was said when the teams were announced...
Correct, As I posted up a bit, Phinney is USA's only rider and Maciej Bodnar is Poland's in the TT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics#Cycling
Quickstep list their riders here aswell
http://omegapharma-quickstep.com/en/news/show/opqs-ready-for-the-2012-lo...
Anyone you want me to check out.....lol
Velonews just posted this 2 hours ago: http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/07/news/london-olympics-time-trial-p...
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
Well, apart from martin, who will defo come third I have eight of the top nine in my squad plus gil, who will score ten for last place.
He is or he isn't, depending on where you look. for now i've left him in.
Is Tejay even racing? I thought it was just Phinney?
Froome or Tejay, Froome or Tejay, Froome or Tejay...
I think the top 5 would be, Wiggo, Froome, Cancellara, Sanchez, Brajkovic
BUT, I'd like to see, Froome, Wiggo, Sanchez, Larsson, Albasini
