Thor Hushovd won the Norwegian champs at the weekend on a hilly course and beat EBH. Agree with Meggers about Sky, who knows what they've been upto, especially Wiggins, he's hardly raced this year. He could be in a good position after the pave as I see him fairing better than the other contenders, and then it's just a case of seeing whether his climbing has improved even more after last year.
hammerite Jun 2010 10:31am, 30 Jun 2010 10,530 posts	0 hammerite Actually having checked that claim about Wiggins hardly racing, it seems I'm wrong. Just can't remember him racing loads (I suppose the Giro took up 21 days of racing though!) cqranking.com
Meglet Jun 2010 10:34am, 30 Jun 2010 4,869 posts	0 Meglet I read last night that Wiggo has been practising hills behind a motorbike to replicate Contador making a break for it! Perhaps the near miss of the podium last year has really fired him up and he's more hungry for it than before. I wonder if Team Sky will try to make a big splash in the first day or two, will Wiggins go for the time trial win or will he be riding more conservatively for the overall Tour?

hammerite Jun 2010 10:49am, 30 Jun 2010 10,531 posts	0 hammerite Worth getting Cycling Weekly tomorrow for the Tour guide. It'll be right up to date, unlike the programme I bought yesterday which has Valverde all over it.
