Why did OP make this thread again?
The only difference between wiggins and menchov in the 2011 Vuelta was that when Wiggins realized his teammate was better placed then him, he demanded that the red jersey work for him until neither could win.
When Menchov realized his teammate was better placed than him (due to a crash, not due to being worse), he worked for his teammate.
