The Worlds

[S10GTA]

Started this week, Quickstep have already won the Team TT. Martin is an animal.

What are the GB hopes, Wiggins in the ITT and Froome in the road race?

[okgo]

Froome looks pretty st at the minute, so personally don't think he has the form.

Wiggins looks good, but I feel Cancellara has been targeting it and showed his hand the other week when he tonked Martin. So he's my bet for that.

I caught a bit of the 'Worlds' on the BBC red button on Saturday, I think. I was looking for the footy results while there was a commercial break in the Tour of Britain highlights. Or it might have been during yesterday's live coverage of the final stage

Is it going to be on the BBC live this week at all? I know, "google it yourself, ya lazy toad" is the stock answer, but I've not seen it 'trailed' heavily on the main BBC channels, and remembering where and when it's on, on the red button services, relies on my brain functioning as intended.

Great, I couldn't find it either.

Wednesday and Sunday are the important days then

[Rouleur]

I'll be interested to see how Boonen and Gilbert go, they both need to make up for crap seasons Boonen in particular. I think Froome will go well, he's had an easy time since the Tour and should be ready for this.

Whatever happens it will be a great race. Seeing as Millar's not in the squad I hope he commentates again, he was excellent last year.

I think Tom Boonen has finished for the season to recover from injuries.

Didn't Froome get dropped on the TTT?

I'll go Martin/Cancellara/Wiggins. Gilbert or Sagan for the Road.

Looks like you're right. He's said recently that next year may be his last too which would be a shame.

Hopefully just different tactics.

[Vocal Minority]

Maybe - but gap is starting to swell now. 20 secs back from Cancellara and Martin. Could he have given away too much?

Looks like it.

[Vocal Minority]

Dropped behind Kiryenka now.

I think he is too far adrift now. Its Cancellara v Martin

It's live on the bbc website as well.
