2012 Pro-cycling season thread

Combination of:

• adjusting to a new team,
  
• more competitive sprinters around,
  
• dual leadership in pro team with mixed objectives,
  
• GB riders prioritising track over road,
  
• pressure to repeat last years form
  
  

Mean I think Cav is set for a tough year. If he comes away with meaningful results he will have overcome a lot.

Have to agree to a degree. Really don't see how SKY can support both Cav and Wiggins at the tour. Brailsford was interviewed on the BBC earlier talking about how the team pusuiters have to commit to that and not the road because if you try and do both (road and track) you spread yourself too thin, yet that seems to be exactly what he wants to do with SKY.

On the subject of SKY, good win for Wiggins over Tony Martin today, granted it's early days but stil a good scalp to get.
