D&W and V&M have been locked for gold and silver for almost a quadrennial now... it's not news but still constantly debated.
Thus, the battle for bronze is more interesting to me. As of now, Cappellini & Lanotte, Bobrova & Soloviev, Weaver & Poje, Pechalat & Bourzat, Ilinykh & Katsalopov are the major contenders. The momentum favored B&S and C&L last season.
By Rostelcom Cup, we should know who more or less will be the Bronze medalists, as B&S will face W&P there. The finished product of B&S' LP hasn't yet been unveiled (not to my knowledge), but C&L and W&P already have unveiled theirs. W&P did incredibly well in Skate Canada, and their tango interpretation, under the masterful guidance of Krylova, was TDF. As Chris and Simon said, they still need to intensify and sharpen some of their moves, but it's one hell of a program, almost as good as their Je Suis Malade program. I found C&L's Barber of Seville program quite boring and safe. I liked the rough sketch of B&S' program. Zhulin might add some more sultriness throughout the season; they look physically strong. I don't know what P&B and I&K are doing ATM. Out of the bunch, W&P seem to have the edge as of now. I think their tango was only a few points behind V&M.
