What is the Wiggins method, pray tell? This isn't a guy like Lance perfecting the art of building a race (ok, and doping) program up around few race days and more time training to a single season peak, over several years. It's not a guy like Evans or Valverde racing to win every race they enter every year either.
Wiggins 2009: a bit of early season racing (Qatar and the Tour Med), DNF Paris-Nice, a handful of one-day Classics and short stage races (de Panne, Critérium International before the Corsica days), then the Giro, before resting up for the Tour. After that, a couple of weeks' rest before the Eneco Tour, the waving to the crowds in the Tour of Britain, the Worlds and then winning the Jayco Herald Sun Tour. Seems a pretty intensive racing program.
Wiggins 2010: Now with the pressure of leading a team, Wiggins elects for early season stage racing (Qatar) but instead of doing those northern Classics and flatter stage races, prefers to go for hillier ones (Ruta del Sol, Murcía, País Vasco). None of these are raced to win and no results are banked. Targets Giro prologue but does not intend to compete in the GC - indeed is pretty much an irrelevance even after being in the break to L'Aquila, and apart from an exploration on Monte Grappa that is roundly ignored by the heads of state you'd be forgiven for forgetting he was in the race once he lost the maglia rosa to Evans after a day. Turns up to the Tour and underperforms, cites having done too much racing, takes a month off, then does a few one-day races and the Tour of Britain, which he had to be cajoled into by the team.
Wiggins 2011: fresh from the failure of the 2010 season, the calendar is revamped significantly. 2010's failure had been to do a lot of race days without attempting to bank results and test oneself, so that when the Tour went wrong there was no fall-back option. In 2011 he starts in Qatar as usual, then rectifies this problem with an assist from a chronically awful Paris-Nice route that heavily favours the time triallist. He then returns to those northern Classics and short stage races like de Panne that he did in his more successful year, before riding Romandie with no aims and then taking a month off until Bayern and hitting his stride with victory in the Dauphiné. He seemed to be in good form at the Tour but we'll never know since he crashed out and the lopsided route meant we never really saw him attempt a climb in anger in the race. Bounces back from injury by finishing on the podium of the Vuelta.
Wiggins 2012: fed up of that flat race, one-day race and trying to target races to peak at BS, Wiggins arrives at a new raceplan: tweak the previous year's calendar, and win everything with ease. Qatar is replaced with the hillier Algarve, which Wiggins would win if his teammate didn't. Paris-Nice remains, the flatter races are replaced with Catalunya then another month off staying away from those nasty, hard to control one-day races where the risk of crashes may be greater because it's harder to keep the protective shell of domestiques around. Romandie, then another month off. Then the Dauphiné, then another month off. Then the Tour, Olympics, and anything else is a lap of honour.
Wiggins 2013: goes from peak for everything, to reducing the race days drastically.
There's no real, clear, obvious pattern of low race days for a single peak with Wiggins. His calendar is not as clearly predictable - health permitting - as, say, Andy Schleck.
