Wonder who Belgium will be backing? WvA is the man in form IMHO.

Yep. Wondered the same thing.

 

The other guys should be doing the attacks and chasing, but WvA should be their protected rider until the final selection is made.

that would be worth the suffering just to ride Acque Minerali on a bike....

 

if you know...you'll know

If anyone finds themselves in Imola area and want to go ride some of the rout, try Cremonini bike in Imola for a rental. They are a Giant concept store situated in the village center. I rented a bike from them in Feb .

She did well to just finish the stage. Probably should have just got in the car at the time...

 

EINA!

[Yyyy]

WvA seems like the man of the moment but listening to that THE MOVE podcast with Lance

 

They reckon the champion wont be one of the tdf riders.

Thanks! Always interesting to see what the compositions are of the European nations who are spoiled for choice..

[JScottP]

Interestingly, no Thomas or Froome for GB in the road race, and no Impey for SA

[TNT1]

Meintjies and Dlamini for SA?

 

CSA continues to amaze with bizarre selection.

[Long Wheel Base]

Almost time, can't wait.

I wonder if Impey was chosen but decided against it?
