A 'Classics' rider

[perplexed]

I hope so. I think G's wasted on the track.

Jonathan Tiernan-Locke could be the man. Presently with Endura Racing, I think he'll be signing for a big team for next season.

I think there are certain races Brad could win too.

Really hope to see him ride in a big team next year, the way he blew away from the peloton and went straight past the breakaway group on a climb to continue on his own last year in the Tour of Britain was immense!

I think Cav will mature into a Classics rider. He's not got much left to win as a bunch sprinter, unless he's just going for more and more stage wins. It would also make it easier for him to stay at Sky if he didn't need a lead-out train.

He already is, his Milan - San Remo win made him the first Brit to win a classic since Barry Hoban.

Does GB have anyone or anyone up-and-coming who could be considered a one-day specialist?

Women's is different. We've already had several recent winners of at least one classic!

I'm sure I read somewhere that he is stopping track cycling after the games
Could be wrong though

He is, Olympics are his last track meet.

Oh yes, Adam Blythe (one of Gilbert's right hand men) and Steve Cummings have something the rouleur/classics type about them.
