2013 Pro-cycling season thread

Trying to force last years winner out of the race is not a very classy move. I'm still not convinced there is anything in Froome's palmares that entitles him to pull rank on Wiggins, if the latter can show the same form as last year.

And I think he knows it. He always comes across as a little insecure. Wiggins is the senior rider and the defending champion, it is his prerogative to race and try to win the Tour if he wants. It's just that he could have been clearer about it from the off.
