Not a bad first day for GB - silver for Elinor Barker in the Junior Women's TT, less than two seconds behind the winner. Results of U23 Men's TT not in yet but ominously, looks like a second gold for the Aussies. Strength in depth in their squad...
So, what are everyone's predictions for the big races? Double gold for Britain in the elite men's races not out of the question, but I reckon Wiggo is going to have to do something really special to beat Tony Martin in the TT. I think he'll get silver though. For the road race, I'm saying it's between Cav, Sagan and Gilbert. If it's a straight sprint, you'd have to back Cav, but who knows what might happen? I don't think I've seen Cav up against Sagan. That could be an interesting contest. Disappointed Renshaw and Degenkolb won't be there to take on their old team-mate.
In the women's races... double gold for Emma Pooley?
