    wiggins wont win thats for sure, not now doping is so risky

    What a an odd statement to make, hang on aren't you the one who makes up stories about kung foo kicking other cyclists off there bikes.???

    everyone is entitled (rightly or wrongly) to their own opinions. it doesn't help that his opinions and stories make him look like a monumental cnut ! (in my opinion of course.... ;o) )

    I'll go out on a limb here but fairly sure it's not just your opinion :)

    Just getting back on what could be a great topic. I know not everyone is a fan but I'd like to see contador win again. I think he's a great rider. Obviously I'd like to see a Brit win but I just don't think it will happen. Froome is a good rider but when the big mountains come I don't think he could match the pace of contador.

    If not contador then I think andy schleck is gonna have a great chance and he is hungry for that victory ( officially ) and having spent most of last season not racing he's had a lot of rest and time to prepare.

    Wiggin's complained a lot about being tested during the TdF so I'm pretty sure that if there had been a positive test we'd have known.

    Unfortunately he's having to pay for the tarring of all pro cyclists who gain success as 'dopers', something which he is understandably pi**ed at having put in all that work just to be lambasted.

    And Wiggins may not even ride the TdF, he's said he won it once and that's what he wanted to do so he might focus on the Giro and maybe a few smaller profile tours to complete his portfolio.

    More likely 'show me a positive test Wiggins', is what you should have said.

    What's all the talk about wiggins and this test, I've missed something here. Are people saying he's tested positive? I wouldn't believe it for a sec.... I do believe he's won the tour clean, I believe he is a clean rider and I also believe he's not riding next yrs tour cos he hasn't a hope in hell of winning it. So save himself any embarrassment and ride the giro instead which he won't have a chance in either. IMHO it's tougher than the tour. And before I get slated no I'm not a pro and haven't competed in either...

    He's done no such thing, it's just vindictive accusations being slung.

    Like you I don't believe for a second he's a doper. Unfortunately these accusations are something he's going to have to learn to live with if he's to continue being successful.

    As for the topic, I think Froome will be Sky's frontman for the Tour and they'll try and get Wiggins the Giro. If he wins that then I can see him retiring tbh.

    Well, with broken ribs November training and probably December high level training will be lost. Not sure how that will affect his summer races as plenty of time to recover fitness but the spring stuff will surely be affected.
    Even 2% makes a huge difference at world class level

    I don't think he was very happy at Sky by the sounds. In terms of professional ambitions anyway.

    He might have been under the impression that Sky would back his green jersey ambitions but they haven't so he's gone to a team that has.

    I think he's going to be unbeatable with a full team working for him.
