9.3km and flat as flat can be.  Who's got a chance?  It's a tantalising one.  Short enough for the prologue specialists and power riders, maybe too short for the usual TTers.   I have no idea who's going to do well.

The usual suspect: Cancellara.

Good TTers: Evans, Grabsch, Pinotti, Gesink, Konovalovas, Machado, Larsson

Power riders: Hushovd, Boonen, Boom

A left field choice: Lancaster

I'll throw my hat in the ring with a highly unlikely top 5:

1. Cancellara

2. Boom

3. Lancaster

4. Evans

5. Grabsch
