I am a bit late with this thread this year, been on holiday,

Cavendish only one win up to now because he has been very unlucky with crashes,

Wiggins could take yellow today as its the 1st moutain stage,

Wiggins has a great chance of winning the race overall barring accidents,

Come on you Brits !!!!!!!!

I'd be surprised to see Wiggo in yellow tonight. The climb today goes up to 25% in parts - he can't handle those types of percentages. Last year's Vuelta proved that.

Cav has only missed out on one finish because of a crash. He got beat fair and square by Greipel and the other false flat finshed aren't really to his capabilities.

Great result for the 1st mountain stage dropping shleck and radioshacks plan B Kloden also Basso didn't last considering these were relatively small mountains (3km but steep).

Though if only the last few days had gone better for Cav as sky now have the yellow and poka dot jerseys and are still the leading team (I think not sure how many riders they count)

Yes, I can remember watching Wiggo at the Lincoln GP so today was fantastic. Froome put in a brilliant shift. He rides himself into the ground for Wiggins. Be interesting to see how the time trial goes after tomorrow's slog.

now Wiggins gets to follow so will get the time splits a long the route.

Also it seems he was in fine fettle this morning at the press conference see below nicked from @richardmoore73 twitter feed

Wiggins, asked about those who accuse him of doping: "I say they're just f*cking male masturbators. I cannot be doing with people like that It justifies their own bone-idleness because they can't ever imagine applying themselves to do anything in their lives It's easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter and write that sort of excrement, rather than get off their arses in their own lives and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something. And that's ultimately it. C*nts.

As richard Moore say it is bit more than just I have never tested positive

Froome on the road and Nibali, Evans and Wiggo about to go down the ramp. Can't wait for this.
