    Shame, wonder where he goes from here, presumably it's a case of get fit to support Froome and then see who Sky have for the Vuelta.
    Well, he said he's focusing on supporting Froome in the Tour. SKY really have had no luck in the other GTs.

    It's their main man (men) for the Giro GC that always seems to have an issue (Wiggins / Porte / Landa / Landa & Thomas). They did pick up a 2nd on GC with Uran Uran Uran in '13. Also won KOM last year with Nieve

    Their Vuelta record is lots of near misses - 3 x 2nd for Froome, plus a 4th, and Wiggins 3rd.
