Yes, everyone knows how much you rate Bertie, in fact.
![]() The young Polish rider is essentially starting his season again here, after five weeks off from riding competitively when withdrawn from the Tour de Romandie. Young riders can come out strong after a spell. Moreover, Kwiatkowski has shown he can mix it with, and beat, some of the best riders in this short form of the ITT. At the start of the season in Portugal over a similar distance in stage 3, he beat not only Contador but also Tony Martin. He doesn't necessarily have the raw power of an ITT specialist, but he does hold a good aero position and is quite nimble in the technical areas of sharp turns and tight roads, and the middle section of this course has plenty of turns. Overall, I think the course suits him, he is fresh and may respond well to a tough hit-out, and is certainly the deserving favourite. I would still require more convincing that he is a serious bet, but I think he is a fair price at better than 2/1 to win this, and will have a bet for interest. Good luck to all, SP |

kwiatkowski has to start early, a little disadvantage when you don't know the times of the main contenders. Already starts in 5 minutes.
