2014 Pro-cycling season thread

It seems a bit disingenuous comparing Wiggins to Porte in this case, for inclusion in the team he should be compared to the weakest rider in the squad selected, not the second best.

Exactly.

Also, remember last year's Tour where Porte rode so hard one day after his work was done, to cement his own place on GC, that he blew up the next day leaving Froome isolated? Sky were incredibly fortunate to get away with that, thanks mainly to Movistar's idiotic tactics.

His ability to destroy himself to achieve something in a stage is exactly why I'd bring him. Its also exactly why I'd want wiggins there.

On paper this years tour looks great for a Wiggins super domestique role. Plenty of Places hed be extra useful.
