Wiggins on podium

Bradley Wiggins of Team Sky, showed today, why he is being billed as the most certain bet, to win in the tour, to win this year’s TdF. In a race stage where, the current time trial world champion along with a very in form former 4 times time trial world champion were supposed to be the hottest items, Wiggins rode at a phenomenal pace to win by a huge margin, crushing all opponents. While doing so, he also rode away from the reigning champion Cadel Evans in the race for the overall title.

Wiggins in Yellow

With the first major climb of the Tour, a Cat 1, at the La Planchedes Belles Filles, the TdF 2012, has showcased, what bike racing is all about. Its not just the super speed on the wheels that count, but the determination & grit to keep pounding away on the roads, however steep they turn out and reaching the finish line is what the real man will have to do. To win the crown, he will have to do it in the shortest time frame possible, or leave the others behind.
