Tough call on who to add to Wiggins for the TT.
Cummings has beaten Dowsett recently, Thomas was on fine form post TdF and beat Dowsett in the Nationals. Dowsett is a TT specialist.
Wiggins won't do the RR will he? Or maybe he will if Froome doesn't!

Odd there is no women's itt long list. The statement from BC was also a bit rubbish as well.

Can anyone beat Tony Martin? And why is Wiggo a shoo in compared to Dowsett the national TT champion?

No, Tony Martin is a cert but I haven't even seen the parcours. Is it pan flat?
Dowsett is pretty average in ITTs these days and Wiggins is national champ, and probably nearest to TM in world terms assuming he's trained properly. Cummings has TTed better than Dowsett recently

<edit> Just read this...
The 36.15 kilometre long TTT course for the elite women features only one climb with a maximum gradient of 10%. The men's elite race is 57,10 kilometre long and includes two short climbs. The majority of the course is flat..
TM FTW
