The team GB olympic shorlists have been drawn up.

David Millar making the shorlist is the only surprise for me.

    I'm surprised you're surprised by Millar's inclusion. I'd have thought he was a certainty from the moment Chambers won his appeal at CAS.

    To be fair, I expected him to be there and with Wiggins probably looking to save himself for the TT I think he will be key to Cav winning. I just thought with it being so soon the BOC may have made an example.

    He's been picked for every single World Championships since his ban, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

    I'm betting the last 5 will be:

    Cav, Standard, Millar, Wiggins, Froome

    It's 2 for the TT right? Think Froome will have the edge over Millar these days.
    Wiggins & Froome

    Other than taekwondo BOC basically pick who the governing body recommends. They'd have been in a very difficult legal position to say no to Millar if BC had put him forward.
