    I concur, if he doesn't finish today ahead of Nibali in the GC then his Giro is over imo, and sadly more torrential rain and thunderstorms predicted.

    Looking forward to this.
    It will be fascinating if only for the reason that true champions are forged in adversity.
    I admired the brutal fragility of his bus step interview in his first tour for Sky.
    Since then with any race he has one he and his team have been in control. Today and next few are big test for Sky. Do they claw their way back or wimper home with tail between legs.

    The thing that distinguishes Wigho from someone like Contador or sat Hinault is that even when the latter are not on form and suffering they will go down having given it their all.

    There was almost a jaded and weary attitude to Wiggins after the Olympics last year...He had trained and focused so hard on the Tour (and Olympics to an extent) and once he achieved his goal he admitted that he would never get this sense of achievement again - and I think he wondered why it did not make him feel as he had hoped

    He does not strike me that he has the 'I must win' attitude that Contador and Hinault have ...he seems to question the value of 'success' and 'failure' ..
