ToC 2008 Your Pick for Prologue??

I will not put up a poll. Just list below.

For those who don't know, it's just over 2 miles and flat. Profile found here.

I have to go with Cancellara. He just likes this stuff.

As posted in the GC thread:

Boonen. This is damn near an anaerobic effort, and he's on form from Qatar and ready to crush the classics.

Way to go out on the limb there.

Wiggins. The guy shines in his pursuits, he'll probably even be riding his track pursuit bike. Think, 2 miles and flat? That's practically a 3k time trial, which is his specialty.

I'd have to say one of the two gentlemen already mentioned. Who else is even a contender? this prologue is really going to favor the large, beast-like dudes.

Wiggins and Cancellara for top two. Hincapie at about 5 seconds back for third. Boonen and Levi in top 10, but not top 5.

Boonen. Like noted above, he's showing good form, and ready to haul ass.

Wiggins ain't so bad though. I'd love to see Fabian give the pursuit a try.

My tip will be for Cancellara to dominate the prologue, with a good overall showing for the Slipstream chaps. I think Millar will be outside the top 5 though. It would be nice to see my home boy Wiggins do well. Good luck Bradley!

Hmm, conveniently posting after the race is over?

Levi impressed, even though in my opinion he didn't have a chance in hell to actually win

First to be tested...

Rather uneventful, I was glad to see the large crowds. Maybe the TOC has a future.
