myrideissteelerthanyours said:Wigans was decent at PR this year but why is he so overhyped as a "classics" rider? He can compete in PR lets not call him anything but a 2 trick pony (he is a top 5 TT/prologue).
Also does anybody really think he stands a decent chance against the field? Wouldn't he need like a tier 1 classics rider on his team so teams dont chase him?
I don't think he is overhyped at all. A top 10 position means he can do the job. Nothing more. However, if you can do the job, and given the role that luck can play in the classics, is a win out of the question? Absolutely not.
In terms of does he need a tier 1 classics rider? I don't think so. Maybe from a team point of view to hedge their bets, maybe. If it's gonna happen its in the lap of the gods.
Just wish he would quit this worthless track BS!
