Well, who are really the big threats on the steeper climbs? Rodrigues for one but good then that he manage to put time into him on a climb like today. Not sure who out of the others are that much more favoured over him on the really steep stuff. Nibali strikes me as someone who also prefers a climb like today. I'm hard pressed to think of anyone else that both favours steeper climbs and that also is a contender against Wiggins. One that I know likes the steep stuff is Kessiakoff but at the same time he is very inexperienced at this sort of thing so it's hard to see him really challenge for the podium. There is also a big question mark about who whether Kessiakoff can last 3 weeks.l.Harm said:Dope!!!!
No, great performance today. Questionable how he'll perform on the really steep climbs.
Yep I think u can expect him to b slammed just as quickly if he puts a foot wrong. His ride didn't surprise me that much after his strong performance in the Dauphine, though he did show some signs of fading in the final mountain stage, so if the TT puts him right back to the top of the GC, can he go the distance with some serious climbing to come? I reckon he's a good chance as no one else seems to be dominant at the moment. Bring on the Angliru, that should sort them out!The Hitch said:He gets taken the **** out of far more than his fair share and today showed balls and strength reminiscent of Andy Schleck on 18.
The only real surprise is that 6 hours after he did that, a thread of this sort had not yet been started.
Does anyone outside the US like Bottle or Pharmstrong???Clemson Cycling said:Is there anyone outside the UK that likes Mr. Wiggo
You would be hard pressed to find anyone IN the U.S. that likes Bottle. Aside from a few jock sniffers, there are few knowledgeable fans that will deny that Lance is a fraud with a nasty personality.Siriuscat said:Does anyone outside the US like Bottle or Pharmstrong???
Maybe so, bottle doesn't have the track palmares to compare with though and Brad has morphed from a pure trackie to a very good stage racer.Damiano Machiavelli said:You would be hard pressed to find anyone IN the U.S. that likes Bottle.

Wiggins is the British Bottle but with less wins.
Nobody cares about track but a few brits and aussies. You might as well bring up his record playing croquet. As it is Wiggins has one stage race win, and that race had a crappy route.Siriuscat said:Maybe so, bottle doesn't have the track palmares to compare with though and Brad has morphed from a pure trackie to a very good stage racer.

We will miss your acumen. Really.daveinzambia said:I am outside the UK and I like him. obviously not as bitter and twisted and most on here.
frankly started coming on here to keep an eye on transfer rumours, got drawn into a few discussions and now every time i read threads get utterly depressed by this place
over the continual bashing of riders, of anyone who does anything. honestly i wonder why some people in this forum even bother with the sport given the fact that apparently everyone dopes and they hate dopers.
will stick to reading the web site and wait a little longer to get transfer rumours confirmed and keep myself out of this sad depressing place.
exactly the sort of comment that makes it not worthwhile coming here.Moose McKnuckles said:We will miss your acumen. Really.
