What is behind Wiggins' Giro withdrawal?
Maybe it’s because cyclists have given them so much money over the years and now Amgen are feeling guilty and are trying to give some of it back to the sport they almost ruined!

I’m from ballarat so I know all about Ballarat weather!
2013 Nationals review: Men's road race
Yeah I watch the Tour, Greenedge were Atrocious! Matt Goss choke at every stage finish even though he schooled everyone at the intermediates!
Porte should be first on Orica-GreenEdge wishlist
Sounds great and i’d love to see that but I think its a bit optimistic. Porte is a great rider but I don’t that he can really go with the big guns in the mountains. I think he could get in the top ten as he reminds me a bit of Michael Rogers who couldn’t quite hack it on the big climbs. I would love to see him at Greenedge as he is our best hope for a high Tour finish once post-Cadel.

It wasn’t really a great year for Cav. He may have had a few stages but he really did emulate his previous years with out a team to guide him as he isn’t a great at reading the sprints. Sagan on the other won with out much team support which just shows his strength!
Top ten riders of 2012
Sagan didn’t have many people working for him they were busy helping Vincenzo nibali. He can win with out a train on almost any terrain!

I think Sagan should be in first with Wiggins in third, just because he is so young and his ability to win on a number of terrains!

In the 2010 Tour De Suisse he beat many top riders including Andy Schleck, Joaquin Rodriguez and Lance Armstrong in a mountianous stage. He then went on to finish 5th in the Tour (4th officially if you don’t count Contador). Also Evans and Wiggins have never been one of the best climbers and on numerous occasions have lost a lot of time on the high mountain stages.
Gesink shows his Tour credentials
I think that you guys are forgetting that the olympics is just days after the Tour. Cadel will be putting in his all to try and win the race. Cancellara has already said that he will not give it his all at the Tour and Tony Martin may not ride the tour with his latest injuries. Luke Durbridge is only 20 so he may not start the tour or if he does he might not finish it so he will be fresh. Michael Rogers may not ride the tour with team sky having such a talented list.
Most likely someone who hasnt ridden the tour will win as we all remember the effects the Giro had on Contador’s Tour last year and that was a month late, the time trial is just ten days later. Riding well in the last week of the tour is not just about form its about who has fatigued the least. Sure, Cadel would probably beat anyone who has ridden the full tour at there full potential but if i was a selector i would choose someone who hasn’t ridden the Tour.
Evans must get Olympic time trial spot
Milan’s famous medical facilities were also link with confessed doping doctor Eufemiano Fuentes. I don’t think we’re going too many more 40 year olds running around think pitch anymore
AC Milan's youthful future will lead the way
