Wiggins Discussion thread.

Wiggins given protected rider status in case Froome crashes.

Or claims he's now a cobbles specialist and goes off 'stage hunting' and accidentally gets a GC lead when all the favourites get stuck behind a Franck Schleck special.

Thomas & Stannard should be plenty of support for Froome anyway, but lets be honest, I'm guessing all 8 team-mates will be on strict details that day.

The same team orders that Froome was following up that mountain in the 2012 TdF?

You only break team orders when you know you're good enough.

It would just be pathetic and embarrassing for Wiggins to try and backstab, get frozen out by the team and finish 17th or something crap whilst Froome wins anyway.

 

[elfed68]

I think Mr Contador might have a different opinion.

Froome out of LBL with a chest infection and Bradley building his form nicely...

Wiggins seems to be the only one in good health for sky probably do to actually being allowed have his normal riding weight.

 

[movingtarget]

The much maligned Wiggo is going along quietly and staying out trouble.

 

[Carols]

Come on Wiggo, at this rate you'll be leading Sky at the TdF!!!

indeed. I was just thinking the same. This anorexic obsession of sky, might take its tool. I read Froome's google info, he is supposedly 71 kg, so does he have to loose 10kg to get to 61kg? No wonder you get sick easily..

On the other hand, wiggins has been flying quietly away from sickness, crashes and set backs. And he rides with his weight . If he continues this trend, we got some dilemma again at sky...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Would love to see him winning the Dauphine just to watch the Sky team desintegrate into a vortex of b itching and leadership confusion.

 

[elfed68]

Looks like Bradley's proving to be quite a hit in the USA, and he seems to be saying all the right things as well.
His new PR agency paying dividends.

It came up on my Facebook through Team Sky, looks like they can't get enough of him.

I'll look for a link and post it for you.

Yeah, she's hot, the guy's a bit of a Ron Burgundy type though

 

[oldcrank]

Good to see women in the colonies showing Sir Brad
the respect that he is due by curtsying to him.

 

[miketrout27]

Wiggins is aiming for California, can he still climb nowadays?

 

[elfed68]

I'd like to think so, he's got a good track record with stated objectives, barring the Giro 2013 of course.

 

[miketrout27]

The 20km ITT will give him time on Tejay. If he can lose less than half a minute on Tejay on the climbs he should be in good position

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Tejay isn't doing California.

Considering his Trentino ride and the budget winners in this race the last few years, I'd say he'll be alright.

 

[Michele]

He finished Trentino with some solid performance, but is he gonna go for the GC? After his spring campaign I would suspect him to take easy for some time.

When he was trying to convince people this wasn't just a paid holiday year, he quoted Roubaix and California as his targets.
