Can't help but feel that Wiggins is ridiculously underrated on these boards. The guy wins Paris-Nice, Romandie, Dauphne, Tour and Olympic time trial in the one season! I get that he's kinda boring, but the bloke was a bit of a superman in 2012...
I don't see Contador just wiping the floor with him at the Giro. If we see the Alberto from Tour 09 and Giro 11 then yes, he would be the clear favourite, but can he recapture that form? He was greatly impressive that he returned from the break to win the Vuelta, but he wasn't dominant.
I could see Bradley gaining at least ninety seconds on Alberto in the long time trial, and it might not be so easy to take that back in the mountains. Long range attacks might put the Brit under pressure, but he may also have a pretty strong team to assist if required. Certainly Contador is the favourite for mine if he races and focuses on the Giro, but not too far ahead of Wiggins.
And how does Nibali have more votes than Wiggins?!
