    Yes, I guess DZ could do a pretty good time trial. Everyone has been talking up LA and Wiggo, but DZ is not too shabby agains the clock either....

    About time they won one. Even Radioshack has 1 win this season.

    Garmin don't have to fight to get invites, though. So no pressure. RS are virtually guaranteed entrants too.

    The only team that's really not made an impression so far... BMC.

    I guess so. Of the teams you'd expect to be all guns blazing in an effort to be noticed.

    They do, but for some teams winning in March is not as important as it is for other teams.

    Milram, for example, could do with some success given that their sponsor clears off at the end of the year. Guess they're pinning quite a lot of hopes on Gerdemann doing something at Le Tour...

    You know you're in trouble when you're pinning your hopes on the German Tommy D :shock:

    A good day for the Endura team. Blain with the Intermediate jersey and Wilkinson top ten. Looks like they aint gonna be cannon fodder.

    Amazing to see a wee Scottish team rubbing shoulders with the highest level of the sport - and coming away with a jersey too!

    Cheers, Andy

    According to the Guardian website LA tweeted that he thinks Wiggins is favourite for this. Probably Armstrong trying to play mind games.
