Wiggo will start his winning streak here.
Has anyone ever won Trentino-LBL-Romandie-Giro in one year before?

Contadoraus Schlecks said:Makes complete sense for Wiggins to be riding this. If he is close to Nibali here then he has the Giro in the bag. We have not seen him TT this year and he is trying to improve on the aspects of racing where he is not superior.

Only thing I know is that if he will be up there with the likes of, say, Pozzovivo, it will be very worrying for the Giro18-Valve. (pithy) said:Ah, I see. No way Wiggins will be up there with the very best.

Waterloo Sunrise said:Correct. Evans & Pelizzoti have more chance, apparently.
18-Valve. (pithy) said:Nope, because he's not great on climbs that are both steep and long.
I'm looking forward to that.movingtarget said:If Wiggins finishes behind Evans and Pelizzoti I will fall out of my chair.

How else are people going to learn to use the freaking search function?
Cavendash said:Good job the very best are not here then.
Dazed and Confused said:Since his transformation (post Vuelta '11) has he failed to deliver on a steep and long climb? Don't think he has been tested since, but I could be wrong.
