The Giro seems to be the best warm-up for the worlds...pretty hard to compete with the guys coming off the Vuelta and still holding great form for a few weeks.

Why no McEwenTeam Katusha rider Robbie McEwen says he has worked towards the World Championships
since riding Tour de France in July. McEwen is now 38 years old,
and though his career may soon end, he is still a great sprinter.
Would seem he (Robbie McEwen) is coming up trumps in the Benelux.
Experience is what will count in this World Championship 2010,
would think Cadel Evans would have wanted him there. "Selectors"
From your SBS...
Think Cadel Evans is the man... for this coarse. (but will he have the team?)Renshaw's non-selection suggests he may not be capable of surviving
the hilly circuits on the back-end of the course around Geelong
Cheers,
BrentonO

Also the youngest guys on the squad are from Tas! I love it
I might have to get a little toy devil to hang off my bars to fly the flag while im over there. Maybe it can fight Chadwick's poodle

Definately would have been wise to have a second iron in the fire."I'm absolutely gutted and really, really disappointed," McEwen told The Australian newspaper.
"The selectors felt that the road course between Melbourne and Geelong (in Victoria) was just too tough for me but I don't agree.
I've ridden over it and believe I could have been managed it and been competitive.
Like everyone else I'm just shocked that I've been axed.
I truly believe I've done enough here at the Eneco (Tour) to have warranted a start."

The World Road Championship, isn't just a team race event, it's also a "best man on the day" event.

Does that make his selection for the Worlds void, and someone else steps in, or ....toolonglegs wrote:Is there something up with Baden Cooke?...he isn't riding the Vuelta now due to injury.

Philippe Gilbert looked very focused on the sea side of Marbella
at the start of stage 3 of the 2010 Vuelta a Espana.
The 28 year old won in Malaga in the same way he claimed the Amstel Gold Race in April.
"This one was a similar climb as the Cauberg", he analysed. Gilbert is a happy man.
But he has set his sight on another event as well.
"I came to the Vuelta for gearing up for the world championship
and with the ambition of winning a stage", he said. "The second goal is already reached."
Gilbert doesn't hide his ambitions to become the world champion at the
2010 Road Cycling World Championships in Geelong, Australia, on October 3rd.
"The toughness of the course has been underestimated by many favourites", he noted.

Night of Hannover Continental Derny Race, he was second to Danilo Hondo (00:23:43)
and Alessandro Petacchi was 5th.
Seems like more speed work seems to be the order of the day.
Hope this freshens him up, and he comes in well.
Go Aussie, go Cadel Evans, retain "The" Jersey.
Cheers,
BrentonO
