You never know - she might actually win it, and if she did, it would be one of the most deserved wins in the whole Games IMO.

I reckon she will pull back a break with Emma P in it and then get done in the gallop

She could profit from the fact that she is the least known of the three. |

Emma P for me, stronger climber and after this year's results believes in herself.
Plus someone very close to the team, tipped her before Christmas last.
Likely that Nicole ends up being the decoy and unfortunately for all of us that are Welsh and really do hope that she achieves it, will probably end her career without the big one.  |

Hmm - I'm probably going to agree with Steve here. Even though he missed the break last night and his race reading can now not be trusted!!

I'm sure all 3 will give their all for each other and hopefully one will end up on the podium.
As for HGF's provocative comments...

Whilst I'm glad it didn't come to pass, I thought it was quite a clever post.
Blimey, if he'd written Cadel Evans instead of Nicole Cooke VRs would be tripping over themselves to congratulate the HGF for is astuteness. |
