Ima jos nekoliko zemalja koje nisu odabrale svoje predstavnike, vidim da ce nas predstavljati Djurasek i Kvasina, mozda je tako i bolje, Kiserlovski je u jako losoj formi, u zadnje 2 sezone je potpuno nestao sa scene, a puno je obecavao...

Nesto se spominje i da ce skratiti rutu na 241km ali i da ce uvesti jos jedan put penjanje na ovaj veci uspon, ali o tome kad bude i sluzbeno potvrdjeno...

Lani je na skracenoj stazi (165km) slavio Vuillermoz iz Francuske, a u vrhu je bio i kolega mu Bardet, tako da bi oni mogli biti jako opasni...

Inace, jako dobre postave svih ovih vecih zemalja, bit ce zanimljivo kao i uvijek, a na rasporedu je prvog dana naravno i jos je subota, najbolja stvar od svega
