'Dale Posted September 15, 2012 Share Some more preview from cyclingnews.com:The Route - road race courseElite men Distance: 265km Procycling tips: If he finds his form then Philippe Gilbert will go well, Alejandro Valverde is well suited and Peter Sagan was born for this.U23 men Distance: 161km Procycling tips: This race could be the best chance for a home winner. Look out for Moreno Hofland and Wouter Wippert.Elite women Distance: 129km Procycling tips: Britain’s Emma Pooley is sure to attack on the Cauberg but the extra 1.7km to the line makes Marianne Vos favourite.The Route - time trial courseElite menDistance: 45.7kmProcycling tips: In the absence of Wiggins and Froome, this is likely to be a win for Tony Martin. Taylor Phinney and Luis León Sánchez will scrap over the remaining medals.Elite womenDistance: 24.3kmProcycling tips: The hilly course will suit Emma Pooley well. Also look for Olympic TT bronze medallist Olga Zabelinskaya and Linda Villumsen who was a close 4th in London and also 3rd at this year’s La Flèche Wallonne Féminine.Under 23Distance: 36kmProcycling tips: Our clear pick here is Luxembourger Bobby Jungels, twice a silver medallist in the European U23 TT champs and he won’t turn 20 until five days after this event, when he should be in the road race.

Cippo Posted September 15, 2012 Share Gilbert will break on the climb. If Sagan sticks in a group going over the climb its his for the taking. His coach has been playing down his form since the Tour. Valverde aint a darkhorse considering his form in the Vuelta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
