I don't really follow cycling outside of MRR.

But would love to see Boonen or Fabian win gold and then whoever wins it double up with the rainbow stripes in a few months. It would be interesting to see if Evald has it in his legs to make a stance for the road race after the Tour.

Road
Men's Road Race (MRR) - Sagan (SK)
Men's Time Trial (MTT) - Cancellara (CH) (Wiggins Silver)
Women's Road Race (WRR) - Kristin Armstrong (US) or Judith Arndt (DE)
Women's Time Trial (WTT) - Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (FR) or Kristin Armstrong (US)

Mountain
Men's Cross Country (MCC) - Julien Absalon (FR), Nino Schurter Silver (CH)
Women's Cross Country (WCC) - Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (FR)

Track
Men's Sprint - Grégory Baugé (FR)
Men's Keirin - Sir Chris Hoy (GB)
Men's Omnium - Jack Bobrdige (Aus) - I also think Hosung Cho (KR) and Zachary Bell (CA) might do surprisingly well.

Men's Team Sprint - Germany
Men's Team Pursuit - Australia
Women's Sprint - Her Hotness Victoria Pendleton (GB)
Women's Keirin - Anna Meares (AU)
Women's Omnium - Sarah Hammer (US)
Women's Team Sprint- Germany
Women's Team Pursuit - Great Britain

BMX
Men's BMX - Maris Stromberg (LV)
Women's BMX - Magalie Potter (FR)

Wouldn't put money on Maja, she pulled out of the Olympics after breaking some bones and tearing tendons in her right foot.

Damn! I guess I missed that bit of news.
Pauline (my dream girlfriend) will take the gold then.

Edited the original.

Road
Men's Road Race (MRR) - Cav
Men's Time Trial (MTT) - Wiggo
Women's Road Race (WRR) - Kristin Armstrong
Women's Time Trial (WTT) - Kristin Armstrong

Track
Men's Sprint - Bauge (though I hope it's Kenny as I have tickets to the final!!!)
Men's Keirin - Hoy
Men's Omnium - Zachary Bell
Men's Team Sprint - GB
Men's Team Pursuit - GB
Women's Sprint - Vicky Pendleton
Women's Keirin - Anna Meares
Women's Omnium- Laura Trott (Come on Laura!!)
Women's Team Sprint - GB
Women's Team Pursuit - GB

With me being British the above comes off one-sided, but I'd gladly put some money where my mouth is

MRR: Cavendish a lock. Sagan can't outsprint Cav and Britain will bring back any Sagan attack.
WRR: Vos is the Eddy Merckx of women's racing right now. Virtual lock.
MTT: Candidates are Tony Martin, Fabian Cancellara, Taylor Phinney, and Bradley Wiggins. Martin was hurt in Tour. Cancellara seems to have lost a bit. Phinney is on the way up but lacks experience at that distance. So Wiggins is my pick. Phinney a surprise second, Cancelara third.
WTT: Armstrong has been so dominant... I'll go with her.
