Poursuivant said:All the talk about Wiggins winning the Tour because of his TT ability, yet Nibali took zero time on him in the mountains. If Wiggins is in similar shape it will be tough for Nibali, although I think it will be a lot closer. Should be interesting.
Differences :
- No Froome to close the gap when Nibs attacks and Wiggins's is all by himself when all teammates disperse. That of course depends how strong Henao will be ( should be his last helper ).
- Usually more steep mountains / hills not suited to Wiggo. He can do a lot to improve that trough riding lots of camps in Italy and races like Trentino or Tirreno though, or at least see how he fares and try to improve.
So yeah, it should be quite excting imo.
Not to forget, Samu, Hesjedal, Basso or Scarponi etc. won't make it easy for those 2
