The legs on the left are than of André Greipel, winner of 3 stages of the Tour de France this year. Next to him are the legs of Robert Förstemann, track sprinter from Germany, 2010 World Team Sprint Champion. I’ve never seen legs like this. Seems unhuman.

Who wins today. One of these two? Or maybe the guy behind Sagan in the photo? Should be interesting. For some reason I just can’t imagine Mark Cavendish not getting up the climb to vie for a gold medal on home turf, but I’m thinking Sagan wins the race because of the tactics. But, with a maximum of only 5 riders a country, there is a very good chance that a big group will escape and then it could be just about anybody. Should be interesting.

Okay, I didn’t realize that Cavendish had number 11 today, so I’m going to have to change my pick to him.
