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?

Just a thought. Phinney in the lead by what, 2 minutes?? Martin going to go around the same time.
So Contador can still sneak into the top 5
Shit, my indecision is killing me. My reserve team is doing better than my first team and by the end they will be about level
Martin's caught Contador
Marco is out, busted collarbone
I surrender....Only Pinotti going well and now he has fell off big time......
ARGH, Marco
Ive got this very wrong!
DeGendt poor,Dowsett above par
Tejay
Velits
Chavenal
Kessiakoff
Meyer
Durbridge
Phinney
Westra
Grabsch
After 11 changes i finally settled with that lot
Not convinced about Martin. seeing how he's supposed to be having an operation closed season

How stupid do i feel!!
After only starting after 20 or so stages this season I've decided to gamble on some wildcards in the final few races.
Contador
DeGendt
VanGarderen
Kessiakoff
Meyer
Kelderman
Grivko
Durbridge
Dowsett
I doubt many will have Dowsett,Grivko or DeGendt so hoping they can outscore Tuft,Phinney and Pinotti who were my original options.
And neither is your second one !!!!!!!!!!!!!
You'll not win with that team mate, as its not the same as mine
Here are my reserve team
Jakob Fuglsang
Rein Taaramae
Janez Brajkovic
Peter Velits
Vasil Kiryienka
Gustav Erik Larsson
Patrick Gretsch
Jesse Sergent
Wilco Kelderman
SO after chopping and changing last night. I settled for this for my main team. Putting my reserves in my other team
Alberto Contador
Tejay van Garderen
Fredrik Kessiakoff
Marco Pinotti
Taylor Phinney
Svein Tuft
Luke Durbridge
Jonathan Castroviejo
Bert Grabsch
Wet for the early runners
Here is mine
Velits
Contador
Tejay
Kessiakoff
Durbridge
Meyer
Kelderman
Gretsch
Cratrovejo
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
Contador
Van Garderen
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.
Martin
Velits
Contador
Van Garderen
Westra
Kelderman
Durbridge
Leygel
Albos
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.
I'll Name and Shame
Martin
Kessiakoff
VanGarderen
Chavanel
Castroviejo(last minute swap for Kelderman)
Westra
Tuft
Durbridge
Phinney
Looking forward to this!!
1/2/4/5 +minor placings for Tuft and Chavanel
Not bad at all
why so it does. but not any more.
The Road.cc startlist has the wrong Bodnar.
It had the wrong Vandewalle too, but dont know if thats changed
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
16 degrees, 4 NW (there is quite a section going in the NW direction) and a 70% chance of rain. Not ideal for flyers like Contador?
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.
Sohrabi not racing the ITT though
Here is the final startlist
http://www.limburg2012.nl/upload/documents/41_ROA_CM2012_Startinglist_TT...
58 riders, So hopefully Dave goes and takes out the extra 16
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 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
