Who is going to win cyclocross worlds this weekend? Think you know? Belgian, Dutch, Italian, Czech - I'll send a Planet Bike beanie to the first person who correctly guesses the top 3, if it's a tie I'll go to the top 5 so send in 5 deep.
Here's the first guess my prediction:
1. Lars Boom 2. Bart Wellens 3. Erwin Vervecken 4. Enrico Franzoi 5. Sven Nys
I also think Sven Vanthourenhout, Stybar, as well as Mourey could get into the top 5 rather than Nys, but it's hard not to put Nys in there unless he really is completely fried, those will be my 6th, 7th, and 8th places. I'm not really sure how Franzoi will go after being out the last WCs, but it'shome field advantage and he might be the freshest of anyone so I'm putting him at 4, but one of the three above I think could also be four if Franzoi isn't up to speed from being out.
Americans? I'll put Page in 10th, Johnson in 26th, and Powers in 36th. It would be great to see them up there again, but I just don't think Page is at where he was last year and it would take extraordinary circumstances again to get him closer than that at Worlds. Johnson hasn't had the best time in Belgium this year and is getting over a cold, he also doesn't start that well and at Worlds you can't come from behind. Powers would have a fantastic day to get inside the top 30, but I think it depends on the course for him so I'll put him at 36th, which I think would be pretty good.
If you think you can do better, give it a shot! Good luck!
