Whilst I am being sexist, I watched a bit of women's beachball just before, Russia vs Canada..the 2nd set was unbelievable, 11 set points until Russia won the set....great to watch

He's the favourite and rightly so.Originally posted by Chazza1978 View PostSo Neil is Wiggins going to win the time trial tomorrow??
A lot depends on how knackered he is after Saturday, and the Tour, bearing in mind his chief rivals finished both early. Although Martin was injured in the Tour and Cancellara injured himself on Saturday so it's difficult to predict how that might affect them (Martin is fully recovered but it may have affected his training).
If any of the top three aren't on it for whatever reason then Sanchez could get a medal, as could Phinney but I don't see either of them winning it.
Froome could be a threat. That would be interesting.
Rogers could possibly do something but his best days are behind him. Still, he had a great Tour so you never know.
I'd like to see Pinotti do well. Class bloke and very outspoken against doping.
The weather is the one worry. The forecast is for showers and the wind will pick up in the afternoon. Since the riders all start at different times, conditions might vary. It's a massive disadvantage to ride on wet roads or into a strong wind when others have dry roads and helpful wind conditions. Changeable weather makes it a bit of a lottery..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.
