Tour De France 2011

1. He was in better form than in 2009.

2. Contador probably used his best form on the Giro.

3. 2009 showed that he can possibly do better than Evans.

4. One crash involving Andy Schleck could have changed everything.

Instead, the crash involved Wiggins.

There is a lot of chance in the Tour as well as a lot of bloody hard work.

Yes to all of those.Wiggins was in the form of his life, he was leaner than he's ever been winning the Criterium and showing Evans up in the mountains there. I guess we'll never know now and he isn't getting any younger. Next year who knows what might happen but I cant see Wiggins challenging again for GC. I hope I'm proved wrong and I'm glad British cycling is where it is at the moment. I remember watching Tours without British riders then Boardman came along who excelled in TT but was never going to challenge and then Millar and we all know how that ended. So its nice now to see Cav getting stage wins Millar leading Garmin and Sky pushing though young British cyclists.
