The big pre-Olympic races start on Friday at the Vancouver-Whistler Olympic Park. Though they're the last chance to test the trails ahead of the 2010 Olympics, the fields for the races - individual classic sprints on Friday, double pursuits on Saturday, and freestyle team sprints on Sunday - are pretty thin, with Norwegian, German, and Russian racers in particularly short supply. But no matter - there are beaucoup Canadians and Americans on the start lines! Picks:
men's classic sprint
1. Ola Vigen Hattestad
2. Emil Jonsson
3. Andy Newell
women's classic sprint
1. Justyna Kowalcyzk
2. Arianna Follis
3. Britta Norgren

Perianne Jones. I hear she's been working on her double-poling in the off-season and over Christmas. If she puts her transponder on this time, watch out.
Kikkan Randall could take Britta Norgren any day of the week.
Even in a classic sprint?
Ouch, Britta Norgren just eliminated Kikkan Randall head-to-head in Quarterfinal #3. I suck.
