No Wiggo on TDF

[Spartak]

Wonder what Mrs Froome will Tweet about it ???

This news won't detract from my enjoyment of the tour.

Hoogerland cried like a gurl after though

He earned it

Not surprised. After his retirement from the Giro, I expected it. His mi.nd is not on it. I think the media pressure got to him

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

We all seen this coming. We all asked if he could ride under Froome. Wiggins is the defending champ and is a proud individual. Maybe the sceptic in me but i don't personally believe that he has suffered from virus/flue at Giro and now has knee trouble which rules him out of the Tour. I think the Giro illness was genuine but worsened sorely by the lack of confidence and weather.

For me Wiggins/Sky have answered the leadership problem by removing Wiggins from the equation. I also think this will suit Wiggins better than an on form Froome putting serious time into him in the mountains. Sadly i think Wiggins form and condition are far from peak regardless of his claims of wattage etc.

I actually think Armstrong for the Vuelta. Clean as a whistle. New sponsor - "Mr Sheen" for all the jobs you hate.

On a serious note i am putting my bucks on Nibali. A fool wouldn't.

i'm quite intrigued now that the whole froomedog/wiggo issue has been settled by wiggo wimping out - i reckon Berti is a good shout for TdeF and you know what...do you Pedro, do you know what? Cuddles for the Vuelta. Yeh...then again what do i know, i just love the underdog...Berti for the tour, Nibbles for the vuelta.

I put money on him for the Giro

I hear Poland is nice in July.

Surely not? Full of polish no? Or maybe it's not actually.

Of course there is a remote possibility that he's got tendonitis and can't train properly, and all the amateur psychologists on here are talking out of their arses.

This is the Internet rich, let's not let facts or logic scupper misinformed speculation.

This is the same forum that speculates the entire peloton are dopers, cheats, liars and criminals right?

Could be Rich, could be. Or it could be easier to tell the public/press that instead of another less popular story. Who knows?

"Wiggo leaves Team Sky".

It's coming.

In order to stir the pot one must speculate further!

Where is he likely to be going? Team UK youth?
