Two Brits Lead the Tour de France

Nothing like frontrunning. Irony is that even with a Wiggins win the UK still won't have had a native born winner of the TDF, not that I'm counting this as Belgian win by any stretch.

It's amusing like US zealots trying to suggest that Armstrong winning 7 tours made him the greatest ever.

Wiggins and Froome were the two strongest so I don't have any issue with Wiggins winning but you can't just show up and make assumptions you'll just win the tour because your team was the strongest in prior version.

The centennial will be interesting because it's going to be much more challenging from a climbing perspective. Assuming no more top guys get booted for PEDs we'll see Contador, Schleck and older and wiser TJ Van Garderen and old and wiser Thibault Pinot, Thomas De Gendt. No to mention we don't know what's going to happen with Radioshack which could make some good riders available.
