I read the Wiggo turn as being specifically to shut down any chance of a PhilGil or similar solo attack on last lap to absolutely guarantee a bunch sprint.
There are any number of articles online detailing this was the exact plan since 3 years ago when route announced. Utterly dominate and let Cav do his thing in a bunch gallop.
Discussions about the 100% dedication to a Cav victory are moot; you may not have noticed but every GB rider was wearing Mark Cavendish edition Defeet socks for the day ;)
