Back by Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins and runner-up Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish is regarded




Back by Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins and runner-up Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish is regarded as the biggest favourite. However the Briton can triumph only if it is a big gallop at the end, and his rivals will do their utmost to prevent this happening.
Competitors such as Fabian Cancellara (Switzerland), Tom Boonen, Philippe Gilbert (both Belgium), Vincenzo Nibali (Italy), Alejandro Valverde (Spain), Simon Gerrans (Australia), Taylor Phinney and Tejay van Garderen (USA), walking tours in europe Ryder Hesjedal (Canada), Lars Boom (Netherlands), Janez Brajkovic (Slovenia), Alexandr Kolobnev (Russia), Matti Breschel (Denmark), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Norway), Nicolas Roche and Dan Martin (Ireland) will hope that the race plays out more like a Classic, with a small group using this climb to push clear.
The move will have to gain sufficient ground to hold off the chase behind walking tours in europe on the long run-in to the finish, and so it is unlikely that the big guns will wait until the last time up the climb to fire.
Even if the British team is able to control walking tours in europe things and ensure a large group scraps it out at the finish, a Cavendish win is not certain. Peter Sagan (Slovakia) showed excellent form in the Tour de France and went closest to beating Cavendish on the Champs Elysees. He started his sprint from a long way back, yet closed on his rival all the way to the line.
The women's race will begin tomorrow at noon and comprises just 66 riders. Nicole Cooke and Liz Armitstead are the main British hopes and will try to land a home soil victory, while Marianne Vos (Netherlands) is one of the biggest favourites. Judith Arndt, Ina Yoko Teutenberg (both Germany), Kristin Armstrong, Evelyn Stevens (USA), Giorgia Bronzini, Tatiana Guderzo (Italy) and Emma Johansson (Sweden) are just some of those who are tipped for success.
