Wiggins has a mountain to climb if he's going to make the podium. Literally.
I think he's finding out that last year's Tour route was tailor made for him (lots of time trialling and a fairly straightforward run through the Pyrenees. This year the route is stacked towards the climbers with just one long time trial, and it comes on the final Saturday of the race so everyone will be knackered, no team time trial and two tough days in the Alps followed by four tough days in the Pyrenees. He should make the top ten but it'll be the lower reaches of it I think.
