hot on the heels of the vuelta comes the world championships this week in switzerland. again we will be running a tipping comp and entry will be free. to be fair to both the guys and the girls competing in this event, you have to put a tip in for both the men’s and women’s road race as well as the men’s and women’s time trial. the person with the lowest cumulative time will be the winner.
the women’s time trial is to be held on wednesday so you need to have that tip in before the race starts (evening our time). thursday has the men’s time trial with the women’s road race saturday and men’s on sunday. you can put in one tip at a time or all 4 events at once.
the long lists are attached and the final starters will be made from within these lists. i will update the final lists as they come to hand.

So um,
Fabs Cancellara (because he is THE BEST) but Brad Wiggins might do well
The Cav- dont think there is enough climbing to keep him away.
But I really dont know.
Wait…now that I am looking at the names on the live feed on cyclingnews, they are clearly U23…silly me.
Lance’s wife is pretty good.. 🙂
Davina, how come you have a wetsuit?? Thought you were 1 dimensional…
😉

Note to self – I have a better chance in tipping if I actually pick a rider who rides…..and not just a random funny named Ukrainian.
ahh man – so close yet so far – 40 secs off – one of my 4 riders if not all of them should have riden harder!!!! 😉 Pete can i demand a recount!!!!
