airstream said:Wiggins was a 2 time GT podium finisher before the 2012 Tour. Competition was standart. I million times said that Contador and Schleck would in no way have been able to do anything with him on that parcours and this Tour confirmed this in a way. People hugely underrated both Froome and Wiggins in the 2012 Tour because disliked them.
But that's podium, not win. When I say one-hit wonder, I mean he had one winning year and now is falling to obscurity.
And all this Tour really confirmed is Froomes domination. It didn't confirm anything about Wiggins. It's impossible to know for sure, but I think a Schleck and Contador of old could have put Wiggins lead in some kind of danger.
