This. The organisers, the TV companies and the Sky team will want Wiggins to start the Tour. However if Wiggins has ridden, possibly won the Giro at that point I'm wondering how effective he will be, and how interested he will be. There seems to be a little tension between him and Froome. I can't see him riding tirelessly and selflessly for Froome for the whole 3 weeks.
Consider a Contador attack that Wiggins can stay with and Froome can't (unlikely I know), can you see Wiggins dropping back to pace him back to the leaders?
It's a case of too many chiefs really, difficult situation for Sky. Ideally I think they need to keep them seperate. Politics and tradition dictate that Wiggins should really start the tour, which could undermine Sky's attempts to win it with either man.
