If Tony gets a flat or two and loses this time trial, bookies will be jumping off bridges into the Thames. It’s a lock, man, it’s a lock. There, it is now jinxed. You are welcome. Picking second through fifth will take some acumen. Will these be Vuelta riders or does that just hold true for the road race? Tony could have a jour sans. Consult your god.
Twiggo should be in with some speed, he could get lucky, or he could suck. You decide. Time is short and the points are worthy. Delgado at your own risk. A start list is somewhere, I sure can’t find it, FFS!

Me thinks you should get 8 points: Martin (1), Wiggins(1), Dumoulin(4), Dennis (1), Kiryienka (1).

Click on the arrows next to each of your picks to ensure it was mapped to the right rider, that'll also tell you how much you scored for each one.
@wiscot
This is BS. The reigning national champion Emma Pooley has retired and the next likely riders like Joanna Rowsell have declared themselves unavailable because of track focus.
After that you're looking at people who didn't even make top ten at the Commonwealth Games. British Cycling decided to draw a line between sending someone for experience and sending someone as a token to finish 37th.
Australia only sent one man to the ITT instead of two but for some reason that hasn't made the outrage news.
Hmm. Apparently there is a Samuel Dumoulin. I'm disputing it coz who knew?
@The Grande Fondue
Looking at the tips I think lots have been burnt by this one.
@ChrisO I would assume the Aussie decision is related to ensuring Gerro has as much of his OGE break neutralisation squad at hand as possible in the road race.
@Mikael Liddy
They could have given Hayman (the national champion) a ride, given that I don't think he's riding the road race. Though I don't think he was in the OGE team in the TTT either? Hmm.
@The Grande Fondue
Err - I meant Hepburn of course. And he did ride the TTT. (I still stand by the "Hmm" bit though)
@Mikael Liddy
Pretty big sacrifice if you're Luke Durbridge don't you think?
And what's Faboo's excuse? I guess he has the RR in his sights. The course is a bit like MSR.
