Let's face it - his knee, chest, nose, throat and mind are playing up, so he might as well pull out, take a rest and recover properly!

Not in the slightest, I think that Wiggins will be given a free reign to do what he wants. the other riders will then work for whoever needs it, if Brad blows again the team will be told do not wait, if the two of therm are at the peak of their fitness then when the high mountains come they will have dropped most if not all of the other Sky riders as they reach the summits (i'm assuming that SKY go with mainly the team that's built around Froome just now and that doesn't include Uran)
Brailsford will accommodate Brad for the Tour but only in this capacity in my opinion and that opinion has been known on occasion to be wildly wrong

BBC are reporting Wiggins may be pulled out by the docs.
It is a few months to be twiddling his thumbs before the Vuelta but it is a nice idea that @ColinJ mentions. His injuries don't sound too long lasting to really set him back in terms of the secondary season goal of the TdF.
Perhaps though he can be seen as less indomitable by the UK press now. From what I've seen, he has been pretty gallant about his troubles here. It would be nice if the hype surrounding him is toned down a bit and the mainstream cycling press look a bit further into the epic performances of Nibali and Cadel as the race goes on.

According to Inner Ring, Goss didn't contest yesteday's sprint because he's targeting today's stage - it seems ideal for people like him rather than Cav because of the steep kick up before the finish.

This profile makes it look like a downhill finish with a sharp climb before the end which is maybe what FM was saying!
I'm not sure that Cav couldn't get over it though and it may suit better climbers than Goss which makes not contesting yesterday a strange, defensive decision.
