What is your top-5 for Kona?

Bomber

I'm starting to look forward to watching Kona, and I thought it would be fun to see if anyone is able to guess the top-5.

Personally, my guess is this:

Top-5

1, Andreas Raelert

2, Rasmus Henning

3, Marino Vanhoenacker

4, Craig Alexander

5, Eneko Llanos

 

On the women's side... I don't really know what to guess... except:

1: Chrissie

2. ?

3. ?

4. ?

5. ?

Just hung out with Craig yesterday....man that guy is fit. I think him and Ralaert go 1-2...can't imagine he's going to let them get away on the bike..could be a "real" race for sure.

On the ladies side, CW is just so dominant at all 3, it's hard to say where the "race" will actually be. Maybe the other ladies have figured out a plan to test her? I could see one or two girls really pushing the bike and getting her to bike harder than she wants....and then Miranda or Dibens can step up....but man those ladies would have to bike so hard just to push her.

No one mentioned Cat Morrison, I think she is the darkhorse in the women's race. Probably still won't beat Chrissie but I think she will surprise quite a few people.

I like Crowie a lot, so I'm going with him for the Champion #1!
#2 Raelert
#3 Lieto

Womens: I always root for underdog, let's say Miranda #1
