Re: KBK picks
According to cyclingstarlists.com Hammond is starting the KBK, so I'll have to pick him again.

Re: KBK picks
Greipel - I saw him first hand at the TDU - impressive. High Road have 2 members of the same team to help him that they did at the TDU in Hansen and Eisel with Hammond to help too. Very strong team.
1. Greipel 2. Boonen 3. Vaitkus 4. Hushovd Good bunch sprint. |

I am betting on a successful break with one of the riders who rode well in Het Volk but did not bury himself. Chavanel fits the bill. We should record picks and keep a running score. Then we can all see how terrible I am at picking winners.

Re: KBK picks
Yep well I'm sticking with Greipel. I think it will be a bunch sprint. 43km from the final climb to the finish - more than enough and Greipel and Boonen are in terrific form. One of them will win. I reckon Greipel.

yeah, he sucked arse. I think he was training in the Canary Islands before he came down to Adelaide. May mean nothing, may mean alot. There was a few crashes that took out a whole lot of the peloton, chances are he got mixed up in one of those. |

he made Brownie, Davis and Renshaw look slow in the best quality race in Australia besides 2000 Sydney. the stages were not overly short, and not too much piano tranquillo. Renshaw was top 10 in Kurne 2 years back, if Greipel cannot match that if it finishes in a sprint something will be up. |

Re: KBK picks
Well he might have got caught up in a crash. I know Eisel was caught up in a crash. I thougth he wasn't riding yesterday. In anycase - would you bother working hard yesterday when you knew you couldn't win the race? Gilbert was on his own then there was a break then there was the peloton wasnt there? He would have taken it easy when he knew it was beyond him.

Nah, just got flicked in a tight finish for first and fastest after being the strongest all day. Still haven't got over it. Should have used the 15 in the uphill sprint, not the 14.........  |
