Personally think that Wiggins emergence as a genuine GC contender made it easier for Sky to be created, probably helped in many ways as here was already someone who could win the thing, and made the dream of a briton winning the tour, a touchable reality. If Wiggins wins the thing, then he's done all he needs to do and will be remembered eternally in british cycling, and british sport. And if he does, Sports Personality and a Knighthood beckon in his future...
Cav's younger and will have plenty of opportunities to win stages at the tour and other grand tours.
@Jimmy,
someone's run for a jersey will always be compromised when a team is going for green and yellow, it also depends on how the tour itself is composed, if the team doesn't have to defend the yellow for two thirds of the race, they can spend more time providing a leadout train for Cav. Swings and roundabouts.
