Anyone know where can get a list of riders & off times please?
Tried a number of sites that list riders but no indication of any order.

All the articles I've read have suggested that the favourite is reigning champion Kristin Armstrong from the USA.  eg. http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Armstrong-back-to-defend-Olympic-time-trial-gold-3749092.php

So I was surprised to see her priced on here at 9.4 and about 4th favourite.  Worth a few quid on her I reckon.

Also, I think Wiggins is worth laying at 1.57 - he really buried himself on Saturday leading the peleton.  Martin, Froome and Cancellara will all smell blood.

Upside is that if he does win, then we can celebrate a fine GB victory which will soften the blow of losing a few pennies.

I would think there will be some sort of seeded draw

Here's the starlist from Beijing for example  http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/olympics08/?id=startlisttt

Froome was also shot in the road race. There's obviously questions about Cancellara's fitness after his fall and similar about Tony Martin - why did he pull out on Saturday, was it simply to stay fitter for tomorrow?

I suspect patriotic money and new cycling money might push Wiggins price down though, so he might start lower than he ought to be.

are you sure you meant shot??
I personally thought of something similar.

Are the riders allowed radios?  Will TV pics have decent split times?  Hopefully the coverage will be a step up from the road race.

Somebody has nicked Wiggins' TT training kit while he was taking a shower!

He tweeted "Watch your kit at the Foxhills spa... there is a tea leaf about."
