In which case you have to marvel at how ridiculous the Chris & Chris Show was that they've made people almost forget about a rider who, considered one of the most talented in Italy from youth, has been connected to Dr Ferrari along with the previously banned Pellizotti, rides for Vino and wins one GT and podiums another.
For amusement purposes, here's the CQ graph for Bradley Wiggins:
Look at the projected 2013 blue dot. Even if he wins the Worlds & Lombardia he'll only be around his 2011 level.
Or to put it another way, last year Joaquím Rodríguez was the only rider to score higher than him, and he podiumed 2 GTs, won multiple stages of both, 2 stages & 2nd GC at País Vasco and won both a monument and a classic.
This year riders stronger than Wiggins include: Kristof Vandewalle, Ivan Santaromita, Wout Poels (who's been injured), Damien Gaudin, Marcel Wyss, Francesco Bongiorno, Bob Jungels, Amets Txurruka, Ivan Rovny, Nikolas Maes, Patrik Sinkewitz, Aleksandr Dyachenko, Yannick Martinez, Radoslav Rogina, Rohan Dennis, Maxime Bouet, Jesús Herrada, Anthony Roux, Sergey Chernetskiy, Simone Ponzi, Anthony Geslin, Michael Rogers, Janier Acevedo, Brent Bookwalter, Riccardo Zoidl, Martin Elmiger, Tanel Kangert, Mikel Nieve, Daryl Impey, Kenny Dehaes, Jan Barta, Christophe Riblon, Jonathan Hivert, Jan Barta, Dani Navarro, Ion Izagirre, Tom Dumoulin, Paul Martens, Jean-Christophe Peraud, Przemyslaw Niemiec, Arthur Vichot, Bryan Coquard, Pieter Weening, Gerald Ciolek, Simon Spilak, Geraint Thomas, Mauro Santambrogio even after the Giro is taken out, Davide Rebellin and Jan Bakelants.
How many of those could you have predicted from Wiggins 2012?
