Ian Boswell is hoping for the unanswered attack; that he can simply roll away from the bunch without concern from those on guard duty at the front.
Team Sky’s American neo-pro is, perhaps, already too well-known for this to be likely any time soon. A second-place finish at last year’s U23 Liege-Bastogne-Liege and fifth overall at Tour de l'Avenir have already revealed his range of all-around abilities. Expectations are running high for the native of Bend, Oregon, as he adjusts to life in the top professional ranks. So high, in fact, that with about 40km to go at this year’s Flèche-Wallonne, Boswell’s absence through injury was mentioned in Eurosport’s coverage as a potentially important factor in deciding the outcome of the race.

Twenty-eight year-old Richie Porte only started racing in 2006, having begun his sporting life as a triathlete. Porte first competed on the road for pro continental team Praties in his native Tasmania, then switching to Andrea Tafi's amateur Grassi Mapei squad in Italy during 2009. There he raced at the baby Giro winning the individual time trial which led to a contract with Saxo Bank. In 2010 he wore pink at the Giro d'Italia itself for three stages, eventually finishing the race in 7th place and winning the young rider classification. The diminutive but devilish Tasmanian joined Team Sky at the start of the 2012 campaign and immediately made an impact, winning the Tour of the Algarve. Porte's time trialling ability is complemented by his strength as a climber, making him yet another powerful stage race contender within Team Sky's arsenal.
