Tour de France 2012

You're right not to say they are right; only a history that knows nothing about history would not have remembered how brilliant Indurain was in the mountains, how many stage victories he gifted in the mountains (two in a row to Rominger, one year) and how he never lost any time in the mountains to anyone who could win over all - until Mr 60% came along.

Personally I thought Indurain rode with grace and style in the mountains, especially for a big lad. His gifting of wins is very much part of the Spanish culture of stage racing and I love it, but the historians don't appreciate it, which is a crying shame.

That's why I'm worried that Wiggins' win won't be seen for what it is - a titanic team effort to place one man on the podium, riding against the whole peloton and riding clean, and in the process taking 1st AND 2nd. A stupendous feat, and the story has been riveting.
