All this talk of 'How many more tours does Wiggo have in him?'
Am I the only one who thought last year, two years ago and for many years before that that he didn't have one in him?
I think he's done remarkably well and has shown me and many others to have been hasty in the judgements we came to over many years.
He has a marvellous team around him and he deserves this success.
But really, how many people thought of him even as a single TdF winner at the start last year or in 2010?
Now we're asking how many he can win....

I like that Wiggo, Froome and Cav ride bikes, because half the pundits on this thread are proving that the only thing they ride is this:
Quite right.... But mine is in team colours, so my opinion is valid.

I would. Please send me your money
You must learn to stop projecting what you think on to other people, that way you won't be surprised when they say something you haven't thought about.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
You're quite right. The Northwest regional news really ought to take more notice of the success of a Belgian-born Londoner who's racing in France.
All this armchair punditry is just so retarded.
'Cav won't put up with this again' - it's like thinking Balotelli would leave Man City because he is pissed off he didn't score the winning goal in the Premier League and isn't happy at being part of the winning team.
Similar for Froome.
Sky is a cycling TEAM and they race a season, not just the TdF. The TdF may be a big focus, but Sky are not USPS or Discovery, they do the whole season properly.
Cav may not be in green and may not have won loads of stages, but he's spent the year riding with what is essentially the olympic team. This year is all about that gold medal for him. As he said himself, he didn't win the rainbow jersey, he and his team won it...

Let's not forget that he came very close to winning the points comp in the Giro, and he did win the overall classification in the ZLM Tour. He's not had a bad season, and if he wins on Sunday and/or at the Olympics, that will become a very good season.

He probably won't get it until after Sunday's stage.
...and Sagan looks far more capable of winning the Olympic road race.
