    Bennet and Brammieier are joint favourites at 9/4 with Philip Deignan at 6/1. With the flat circuit Bennett looks a great bet, but hard to look past a 3 time defending champion.

    Thoughts?

    Think Lavery will be in the first 3 he is riding well and he is very aggressive, thats what it will take. Its short as well so that could play into bennetts hands he should have a decent sprint at the end if he makes the split.

    Bennett, LAvery , Brammeier

    Would love go see one of the younger lads take the title today. It could well push them into bigger things. While Brammier has been the strongest in past three events I don't think that he will ever be better than he is. Everytime I read an interview with him he comes across like a right moany b1tch.

    I want Philip Deignan to win .....he could win most while wearing the jersey

    Still annoyed D Martin and N Roche aren't there ....I know D Millar is in Scotland and was training yesterday with Martin in Girona (acc to Twitter) .....so where is the camp....I bet Millar will be in the Tour

    Valverde is in Spain,V De Brooke in Holland, Sagan in Slovakia, Cavandish in Scotland, etc ...imagine they are all doing the Tour ??

    I don't think any of the Saxo team selected for the Tour rode their national team races. Garmin haven't announced their team yet, but I'd imagine they wanted Martin there to work with Hesjedal and Talanksy.

    Well I for one don't think its good enough not to take 3 days out and ride in your 'home' championships ..... training could eb scheduled around it ...

    Cavandish has flown from Italy to Glasgow to ride around in the rain. I am not a fan of his but respect for giving his national championship the respect it deserves

    Kinda questions the whole argument about flying to Corsica.....as must be just as hard ot get to Corsica from Glasgow as from Dublin....

    Sounds like Cav is taking it seriously - in the 5 man break on the final lap by the sounds of it

    Kennaugh, Stannard, Millar and Cav are about 5 mins clear on the final lap.

    Stannard punctured not long ago and the other 3 waited, class act.

    He rode a similarly aggressive race at the last commonwealth games although didn't win. nailed it today despite at one stage having 4 Sky riders in the break with him.
    Great ride.

    Also for Brammeier to win 4 in a row is simply astounding. A suberp display and one which deserves respect.

    Chapeau to the 2 of them.
