Stannard as a strong outsider. It'll probably be his only chance of a Monument, despite being the strongest classics rider at Sky, with any team support. Unfortunately he'll probably be forced to slog in the service of Lord St Bradley of Wigginton and Geraint (where's my stabilisers?) Thomas in the cobbled (true) classics.

I don't think sky will have a premeditated plan of Stannard working for Wiggins at Roubaix. Stannard has chance of outfoxing or outkicking others in a select group. Wiggo really doesn't, he'd have to win a la Terpstra 2015 or Boonen 2012. Stannard might even get a free tow to the sprint from vammarcke/dubstep if Wiggins launches a solo attack at the right time.

Correct summary of Wiggins abilities, my concern is that Stannard will have to stay with Wiggins then waste his power dragging him up to a select group; or Stannard will get into a select group and not be allowed to work by Sky, causing failure of said group....
