Having witnessed the vuelta and now the first stage mountain stage of the tour are we seeing a new hinault vs lemond situation?
Wiggins is strong but evans may get a jump somewhere. Does froome stay with wiggins or does he follow?
To be fair to the sky set-up one can imagine that it is promised that given wiggens's age froome may be told to work this year( and next?) for the team leader. From 2014,the team rides for froome?
For those dissing the sky supporters, you have to remember that a british rider in yellow after the 1st mountain stage is beyond belief. As a young amateur rider in my past we brits always looked for robert millar, boardman etc but we always kmew that we as brits were outside the real game. You can dis sky, you can dis the supporters but screw you. Kids in the uk will be reading the press and watching tv and seeing a british guy riding with the best. On the limit, making other great riders suffer. If this isn't what cycling is about then what is?
There is still a long way to go. Anything can happen.
I am 45 now. I no longer race. But for sky to win the tour with wiggans will be a massive step forward for british and world cycling just like it was with lemond I don't want to remember the days in the uk with very limited tv coverage and no british riders. Sure it is all about the best man. Sure nationality doesn't matter really if you are a cyclist but the reality is that a british cyclist doing well innthe tour brings in sponsors who bring in more teams who bring riders etc. What is not to like?
