The obvious guess is Teare, Nuguse, and Kessler but if you were betting money on that trio vs. any other combination of runners, would you take that bet?
Sure, Kessler is the fastest American so far this year. Nuguse is the fittest, most proven, and consistent this season. But Teare makes me nervous despite the fact that he is clearly in amazing, PR shape right now. I am sticking with him, but I am far from 100% confident.
Who do you think will be the three American men in Budapest?
