2014 Pro-cycling season thread

His moments of crisis last season were caused by Garmin, Movistar and Saxo (on a flat stage of all places).

The team lacked, in my opinion, a experienced and respected road captain who knows the roads, the teams, the tactics and can read a race. Wiggins could fulfil that role and provide valuable support in the mountains.

From a team perspective, if they want to have an option B again, then Wiggins, as a GT rider of distinction, has shown form this season and is a much better option than Porte (who's never really proven himself in a GT bar the 2010 Giro when he got lucky in a break).

Bernie Eisel, underrated at Sky I think
