Looking forward to this race, hope I'll be home early enough to watch it live. Even though it's nothing but a small appetiser for what's coming in the next weeks, this is often a pretty nice race on its own. Too bad the start list is limited without BMC, Liquigas and Cancellara.
Finding it hard to make a prediction here, but for some reason my gut says Leukemans will light up this race and perhaps even win it. My gut has been known to lie to me though, so don't hold me to it
I think Cav is in for Flecha, and Bernie is still in the squad. I cant beleive Flecha is going to ride with a recently broken hand. If it is cav for Eisel then expect mark to be doing domestique duties to make up for the weekend.
Theres a lot of swapping going on, confirmed that Sky only go into Catalunya with 6 riders, Pate and Rogers both out. All this olympic thing is a bit much, Geraint spending most of his year track training, seriously, how long does it take to prepare for the track.
Team Sky better be careful not to let the olympics ruin their season. if they come away with no gold for the road race they might look stupid. the track medals will all be seen as TeamGB medals but then again maybe they and their sponsors are not too worried about the road and want the bigger exposure the olympics gives.

Also Kennaugh and Swift's season of testing themselves against their opponents on the road again is pretty much wasted.. A real shame because they were making good progress last year.
Is Silver in the Team Pursuit worth that? I think not.
According to the Dwars official website start list Cavendish is in for Eisel (updated yesterday afternoon). Not showing on the Sky website yet? Anyone know for sure..?
