Just heard Wiggo on the radio talking about Froome. He says undoubtedly Froome can win the tour, will win the tour in the future and that he will help him do so. He sounds very sincere and straightforward. Quality.

Is that the same interview where Wiggins said he knew he wasn't going to be a multiple TdF winner?

They can take it easy on Thursday though as it's only 140-odd km!

BTW, for any discussion of Fank Schleck's positive test, I've started a separate thread to keep this one strictly on the race itself.

 

[Noodley]

His positive test IS part of the race tho...
