The French World Cup squad with M. Deschamps at the reins and without our Samir can go and do one, but I shall be rooting for Thibaut Pinot in the tour! Just hope he's worked on his TTing!

Amazing athletes they may be, Wiggins and Froome come across as needy and egocentric.
Regardless, I'll be rooting for Froome in the TDF.

If something happens to Froome, it will be hard for Porte to step into the #1 role on this course. I would think Wiggins would be a better fall back plan. I think this pretty much seals the fate the Wiggins will be joining a new team (as rumored) next year.

Would've loved to see wiggins and Porte both 100% behind Froome and wiggins would be phenomenal in the Rogers role!

Dauphine starts today, who do we thinks going to win?
I'm saying Froome, although Contador will run him close especially with bonus seconds on offer.

Manchester should bid for a finish. That 150 yard cobbled climb behind Piccadilly station could be epic
Especially if as normal Is pissing it down
