I don't think there's too much need to worry. From what I've heard, I think Peter's mistakes don't last very long and he's never in the wrong valley for long.

Brilliant.

[Street]

So tips to win the Elite class.

I going to risk it and bet on John Rocke and Doug Tullie.

I think that even though the Edinburgh factor hinders them, but the Dark Peak combined with Sheffield will more than make up for it.

[Jethro]

The "Edinburgh factor" has a stinking cold and there is no guarantee that he will run. I am on standby to take his place !

[epocian]

I'm going for Oli & Rob Baker with Steve Birkinshaw/Jethro Lennox not far behind

Wild cards could be Hector Haines/Jack Wood (provided Jack doesn't run out of steam
in the later stages!)

Is there a veteran prize then....?

[King Penguin]

John Rocke might tahe exception to being called a veteran, esp. after the recent agewars on here.

Everyone's forgetting Oleg and Tom Owens. For those of you who don't know who the later is, I believe it's this guy: http://www.mudsweatandtears.co.uk/2011/09/19/owens-takes-first-sws-win-in-italy/

Also Duncan Archer and Shane Ohly.

Battle between Baker/Johnson, Chepelin/Owens and Birkenshaw/Lennox. John and Doug to win in the next few years.

it's a shame the Symonds brothers don't appear to be defending their title.

[Scott]

And last year's A course champions, Catmur/Cherry.

You can not discount Tim Higginbottom and Chris Near with there earlier start. It will also be interesting to see what Jezz Bragg dose.

I personaly don't like the way most of the the big name teams are off close together. You can easaly end up with a big group for a good bit of the course. By then end of the day it's normaly wittled down though as some will of been pushing to hard early on to stay in the group. The mass start at the Swiss MM is a good bit fairer and also good fun.

Weather looking non too spectacular good or bad which is good.

Oli and Rob are starting only 2 mins before Steve and Jethro. A few thoughts here, don't know much about Near/Higginbottom and managed to miss Bragg.

[Jon Brooke]

I think Andy Symonds was injured earlier in the year.

I think Tom Owens might also have run with Andy Symonds at the LAMM a few years ago (Mull?) as I definitely shot a picture of them at some point. He is a top athlete in good form.

Aye I read that on MST, appears to be back to fitness but now based in France.
Anyone know anything about the Bolland brothers?
