Good job it's not Thames Valley police as it's not a close pass according to them if you can't see the bike in the video

For Sky i think Sergio Henao might surprise a few and a young lad from Rabobank Jetse Bol.
Some of the guys on the domestic scene here will surely be grabbing the attention of some world tour teams.
Zak Dempster (Aus) lost out after his staigaireship at HTC, and has now joined the Endura super team. I'm expecting them to dominate in the UK this year, with riders like Ian Bibby and Rob Partridge.
Look no further than the UK for up and coming breakthrough talent.
It depends on what you mean by break through?
A couple of those names above have been pro for a number of years
But i want to see Luke Rowe doing well
Yes Gkam, I am thinking of those who have been pro's but as young riders really are going to shine through and pull of a few surprises/stage wins etc.
I would even say some of them are really good domestique choices as they might suddenly go ahead and challenge for wins - even though they are young and cheap..
I know for certain that Thibaut Panot will be in my TdF team, and I am almost certain he'll be there!
