Contadoraus Schlecks said:It's only a couple of days since you said Wiggins would win stage 3 of catalunya. In doing so he had to beat inter alia Quintana, Valverde and J Rod.
You say one day that Wiggins can beat the best climbers in the world, and a few days later maintain that there is a world of difference in climbing ability between Wiggins and Froome. Which is it?
webvan said:Yep saw him do that briefly on Wednesday after Jrod/Quintana/VV countered his "attack". But yes, in essence he TTs uphill like Hinault used to do and as a result almost always lost time to the climbers...except when they had been destroyed by pace/tactics. Honestly I would have been a bit worried if Wiggins had been able to ride everyone off his wheel in Spain this week. On the other hand it seems he's back/close to his CD2011/2012 climbing level which is what he needs to win a GT with normal ITT distances.

Nope. Only for the Corsica stages and the mountain stages.Pricey_sky said:I think Steephill have the stage profiles on their TDF section now.

will Wiggo be infront before the first MTF due to the ITT?
saunaking said:Stage Maps
Why are there no maps on the tour website? Actually the website is pretty crap! No profiles for most stages and no maps at all.
When will this info be available?
