Le Tour 2012

Post by DavidF »

After yesterdays TT, I reckon Wiggins will win by 5 mins.

There's no one in the top 10 that can take serious time out of him in the mountains. His biggest danger on GC is his own team mate Froome, who finished ahead of him at the Vuelta last year. But Team Sky will make sure that doesn't happen this time. A couple of tough days in the Alps to get through but Wiggo will be covered up in the peloton then until they hit the serious mountains of the Pyrenees. Team Sky will ride such a ferocious pace at the front that no one will be able to attack.

Game over.

Its been a very strange tour. Loads of crashes and a lot of good riders have gone home or have given up for the GC. Wiggins and team sky are riding well. Andy Schleck is not there this year or even Contador both very good time trail riders/climbers and could make things a bit more interesting. There are alot of good climbers gone home which makes it a bit easier for team sky. Ryder Hesjedal , Samuel Sanchez and Wout Poels. riders will just be going for the one day stage win but it look like Wiggins will win the tour.
