Who's going to win the men's relay

[Supersaint]

Looks like this year's British Relays could be one of the best Men's Premier races for year's, with a plethora of top teams vying for that top place at the top of the cream of British orienteering.

But who's it going to be...?

i really want to say EUOC, but unfortunately, i think SHUOC will pip them at the post. (they have something to prove after BUSA)

Surely ShUOC's men's relay team has nothing to prove:

BUSA relay winners 2005 and 2006
UK Relay League winners 2005.

Looking forward to seeing an exciting race on Sunday

go on then? Why does the poll end on Tuesday?

[rocky]

who cares.

im just intrigued by the 6 people who think someone else is going to win... go on then, who?

btw the rumour i alluded to in another thread is that Scott's coach has told him not to do too much this early in the season, so he's not running the relay. expect him to be replaced by Kitch in the Interlopers team, though Graeme could be in with a shout?

Graeme may be in with a shout

"Come on Andy, BJ and Dan" for example?

I think its disappointing that the effect of the physical selection race on Monday is to degrade the British relays. Not running hard three days running is a sensible decision for a young athlete, but what can the selectors learn from comparing the speed of people who raced the day before with those who didn't?

I voted for my team (OD)
Each leg is only 5.4km

must admit i'm a bit surprised as well by the number of people who think someone other than those 5 teams will win, seeing as 10 out of 19 men in the gb squad (incl. juniors) are in these teams, with another 4 who don't make their 1st team (tullie, coombs, halliday, f-robinson) and the other 5 not in the same team.

the next strongest teams are likely to be OD and FVO, but i really can't see them getting in front of all the top teams.

hopefully the AIRE team will be mixing it up near these guys as well.
