Let me take you back to The Tour de France 2012 - Froome riding as a domestique for Wiggins realised that he had stronger legs and jumped off the front to try and go for a stage win. This went against team orders and to be fair he capitulated and continued his role to support Wiggo who was at this point in the red zone. Much was said of this and there were people who openly declared that Froome was the better rider. However Wiggo, although marginaly weaker on the extreme climbs, showed his overall class to blow everyone away on further stages, culminating in the time trial which he took with a raging fist at the line.
Forward nearly a year and Wiggins has decided unilaterally it seems, wants to not only go for the Giro this year, but wants the TDF as well. Its put the cat among the pigeons at Sky, Froome stonewalling any suggestions of a change of leader. I do not envy Brailsford, there's going to be a god almighty row! Champions have to be selfish, but this time I think Wiggins, who is a big officianardo of cycling history and respector of tradition should in this instance stick to original gameplan for the season as did Froome last year.
Only 7 riders have won gthe Giro and TDF in the same year, so its not an easy gig! I'm a massive Wiggo fan, but he's wrong here if he wants to change the teams plans for the season.
Take the Giro Wiggo (Not least because I am going to be at the finish to see you on the podium) and support Froome in the TDF. Make this honorable statement and I think you'll look back in the history books to find you'll not just be there for winning the TDF but being one of the true characters for sticking to your word by helping Froome win it.
So Wiggo's taking the Giro ? Isn't that a bit greedy ? Surely with all his earnings from Riders Fees, Public appearances and endorsements there is no need for him to go cap in hand to the state. Its people like him that make it impossible for the Bulgarians and Romanians to come over here and claim a crust !!!!

I believe what you posted was actually very logical.
ReplyDeleteHowever, what about this? what if you were to write a
awesome title? I am not saying your information
isn't good., however what if you added something that makes people want more? I mean "No Wiggo - GIRO!" is kinda plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo's front page and see how
they write post headlines to grab viewers to open the
links. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about what you've written. In my opinion, it would bring your blog a little livelier.
