postmanhat said:Really odd last couple of days riding by Wiggo. Not making much of an effort in the climbs, leading the peleton to the 3k yesterday, constantly looking around himself. Doesn't look like someone who's going to last three weeks at the moment, but why? In order of most probability I'd say

cineteq said:50% think he will not.
Zam_Olyas said:I think he could still win it.
jens_attacks said:agreed
laughing at crashes is a no no . except if you are ryo maybe...
still wiggo left a bad impression today to me. but from this to laughing when he crashes it's a long distance
thehog said:Nah. The writing has been on the wall all season.
He has won nothing. Been dropped in every races his raced and like the classics team kept talking about the "numbers" but spent more time falling off than winning.
Compare that to Vinnie. Won just about every race. Taken chances, tipped races on its side by daring attacks and got inside the heads of Froome and now Wiggins.
Should also be noted Wiggins hasn't even ridden an ITT this year. Part of Kerrisons master plan of numbers.
In short, hopeless.Zam_Olyas said:I can understand that .by the way the first option is ridiculous.
Aren't you the same guy from the clinic, who I always agree with in the Sky thread?thehog said:Nah. The writing has been on the wall all season.

BW has looked nervous all week - obviously he felt pressure to not make any mistakes before the TT. Which is why he was very cautious, but while there is some merit in spinning around Tenerife it could also be that he misses out on the rough and tumble of being in such a big bunch. It takes a small bit of time to get used to again.
It's the downside of Kerrisons approach.
You're not alone, but since the OP was Miburo I didn't read it, picked 3. LOLcontessador said:Oops...accidently voted no and meant to choose the last option.
He doesn't look happy riding in bad weather and I am guessing he will bail out and concentrate his preparations for TdF.
Sir Wiggo will DNF and prepare for the Tour, then he'll take away Froome's leadership once and for all. He's a knight thus he can.contessador said:Hello Cineteq - yep, Miburo...opened this thread, I better read more carefully next time![]()
Really do not see Bradley winning finishing this Giro in these "appalling" conditions lol...
