I'm going to have a punt on: Oscar Freire

I'm going with Valverde because of what David Millar said and the type of squad Spain have got.

Freire will win it though if he manages to hang on to the end, but I don't think he will.

So my pick is:
Alejandro Valverde

Watching the women's race and the U23s, it doesn't seem too hard after all, and with this as a lead-out train: Gilbert-Nuyens-Van Avermaet, worth a (risky) bet. So, there we are:
Men's RR: Tommeke

redddraggon

Valverde

scwxx77

Paolo Bettini

LangerDan

Freire, please

For sentimental reasons I'm going to pick;

Paolo Bettini

GroupOfOne MkII

Oscar Freire

Boonen for me. Only coverage of the Worlds I've seen so far was the last two laps of the women's race. Boonen will survive those hills.

Stephen Sorba

Bettini

Tommeke for me please.
