Road World Championship, Copenhagen, 19th-25th September

Is Millar deliberately playing down his chances in talking up Wiggins? If he is out of sorts then surely he should have let Dowsett take his place?

Holy David hasn't raced since the Eneco Tour and has become a father for the first time since so he's had other matters to deal with. At this level he's a proven performer, Dowsett's time will come.

I'm calling it for Cancerllara today.. just because I feel he'll up his game because of the off form he's showed..

men's TT will go to either Tony Martin or Fabian Cancellara don't you think?

Pffft, who would bet on either of those two rank outsiders?

My money's on Judith Arndt, she's clearly in great form.

And another successful andyp prediction. Have you thought of running a book? ;)

The dotted World Champion blanket is awesome...

So that's what Greasy's been up to.

Ha!

GB will not win any more medals. their program will not allow a double peak so close to the olympics.

Yeah, it's their training program holding them back. They'll never recover in the 10 months...

WTF? You are taking the piss - right?

We are talking about the road here aren't we? You think Cav and Wiggins will do nothing next year? Oh and I suggest you look at the medal tally at the 2008 world's prior to Bejing if you seriously think that that is really the case...

just a polar view to the usual "aussies gonna smash it"
be great if 'we' win medals but if the tally doesn't get added to i wouldn't be surprised.
wiggins is past his peak (sky's own data/predictions state this)

if my suspicions are proved incorrect then we get a gold :-)

Aussies gonna smash it, btw

Svein Tuft's face is looking pretty tufty today.

Aussies gonna smash it, btw

I've got money on Porte beating Millar (TT). So you can smash it a tad. But I also have money on Tony Martin (TT), and Cav* for wins. So dont go mental.

(*should have been on Husvold, but did'nt like the odds)

There's a Spanish rider drafting Tuft, totally blatantly.

Wiggo now chasing Bobridge.

Because I feel bad for the silly Englishman here I'm betting against Tony Martin today.. he might win his money back.

Bobridge looks as if he's abridging the course.

And Spartacus rolls out..

And is promptly 10 sec behind Martin at the first CP..

Tony Martin 30s faster than Bobridge.

a) I want a bike like that.
b) I want to be able to ride it that fast.

Just discovered this is on just in time to set wiggins finish - good time. Podium for sure now.

madness Tony Martin 1 min faster than Wiggins, ride of his life..great to watch
