The fat lady hasn't sung yet, and Froome may be no Lemond, but let's see whether Wiggins does an Hinault to Froome. Of course, they may both be wasted by others in the field. Hi might go but wont be the team leader once it hits the big mountains, no doubt in my eyes Froome will peak for the tour and get the leadership with Wiggins as support _________________ Gloss Black Special Order Colnago C59 with SR and Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR Giant TCR Advanced SL Rabobank Go Cadel

I understand the nose strips holding the nostrils more open, I use them myself, but plugs up there before I don't see that having a lasting effect over a long distance. Your nostril will go back to normal size very quickly once removed.
