The forum Brits are getting a bit annoying with their "thou shalt not doubt Wiggo" attitude...

Cobo understands: you need to be crap in the Dauphiné to win the Tour.

Brad will probably not win the Tour. Everyone knows that.

The blind confidence of Evans fans based on 1 win and 6 fails, and the heads I win, tails you lose logic employed in his cause is pretty good troll bait however.

Okay, I'll spell it out for you. If Wiggins falters will it be because he's at peak AND rubbish on climbs, or will some decide he's not actually at
peak after all?
Another important factor to consider: inexperience as a leader in a big race. He's not the smartest guy making decisions.

People can doubt him all they want. There is plenty to doubt.

And back to the race. No more derailing from me.

Lol you post was pretty vague.
The TT showed he is pretty near peak form. So of course if he falters, he is rubbish on climbs.
Thats why I expect him to be able to hang in there.

Wiggins fans are way more overconfident and blind.
FYI evans was really only in contention for le tour in 2008 and 2007.

hardly a suprise, the guy just returned from mono. It will take a while before he is anywhere near his old level

He's been dropping like stone on every speed bump this year.
Yes that's what mononucleosis does to you

I know. Not saying he doesn't have a good reason to be dropping like a stone, just stating a fact
At first I thought "why do you have a Sven Kramer avatar" but then I realized it's actually Arshavin ;)
