If you figure two spots on the podium will got to Contador and Schleck then things are not looking good for Wiggins. He won't be allowed to get in a break and there are some apparently on form riders ahead of him: Kreuzinger, Evans, Sanchez, Menchov is lurking. Basso looks ok. Sastre is unpredictable but if he goes ok in the mountains he will be up there. Leipheimer now has a strong team supporting him.
I'd be surprised if Wiggins is in the top five at the end.
I'm already putting Schleck off the podium. I don't think he's going to cope with the absence of Frank in the long run.
