Froomy should have grabbed it while he had the chance . He will not get another chance like that to win the tour . Wiggo has no chance unless theres another big pile up again and if that happens who will sky opt for .
If Contador was riding for sky he would have been gone up the road orders or not. Zoomy missed his chance .

It is just me, or ex-rabo kit looks like it has beed designed by 50 year old Estonian on magic mushrooms

Oh well, looks like the cushy corporate gig is up

edit- and that's no middle aged punter on my wheel but rather a former Flanders winner and Cyclocross World Champ.

This is better photo!

Yeah, Wiggo was never giving up that easy. I'd love to see him give it a real go and make the 100th edition a super battle of the champions of the past few years. Maybe even Andy will put his pelvis back together and be competitive?

good looking kit. A pity that it (hopefully) will change before too long.

Viewable from Norway. Cannot help but notice the zip puller. Kit by Giant by Exteondo?

The Sky team leader may be dictated by how the tour progresses. It is one thing if Wiggins and Froome are clearly the strongest as last year and can decide who they want to be #1. It is another if someone like Contador breaks away on a difficult mountain stage and only Froome can stay on his wheel while Wiggins falls a few minutes behind. Or vice-versa if Wiggins proves stronger.

It looks like that indeed.

Wiggins, " I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure! ' ......I guess why wouldn't he want to go and defend his tdf crown?

I'm with geraldatwork to a point but I don't think either he or Froome will cope with a fit Contador if he's on form ( or on clenbuterol for that matter ) While they look down at their powermeters, racing by numbers, he will be long gone.

I don't know , maybe I'm just in a funny mood.....!
