Wiggins is too lean for this time of year?

[Galic Ho]

I am making the call. Leecheimer will finish above Wigans.

I like the sound of that. I have Bottle finishing outside the top 15. Without Johan there, I think he will have an off year. Just like he did when he moved to Gerolsteiner all those years ago. Switching teams never works for Levi. Was it 2006 he blew five minutes in the first time trial? Gosh, if Levi does that and Brad does worse...phew, Sky are gonna want Cav to come up with the goods.

I still think having two top dogs on Sky with another rider who is arguably better for GC riding...is tantamount to disaster. Somethings gotta give. Pressure to deliver. I know who does it all the time. Loose link IMO is Brad. How he copes with top GC climbers will be anyones guess. I'll believe it when I see it.

If I'm a team manager of a British squad with a British company as the main sponsor then I want as many high profile and talented British riders in the team as possible in what is by far the most important bike race of the year. What I don't want to risk happening is to lose my British GC leader in the first week crash fest and then have to rely on a Norwegian, albeit a very talented one, to generate interest amongst the British public for the remainder of the Tour.

This is my personal favourite from April last year

Uhm... Ew?

Wiggins might want to go well at Algarve/ P-N then rest and build up again for the TDF. Maybe not the best way as he has to stop his buildup, then restart it and hope he can reach his peak again.

There's another one from '09 Roubaix which is just as bad.

I predict a noisy fail from Wiggo this summer in France

Followed by his team supporting Cav to 7 wins

i hate all these riders who got so paranoid with weight
losing some weight is ok, but becoming anorexic and puting your heatlh at risk is not
he was good at something now he got worse at what he was good and only god knows how bad he will perform on the climbs

I won't even bother looking it up.

Then I'll do it for you
