Wiggo confirmed as one-tour wonder ?

in 2009...
He should have listened to Vaughters Wiggo, this year's tour is
obvisously too hard for him and it's only starting....Sky and Wiggo
remind me of T-Mobile and Kloden in 2006 when they were on the attack
on Peyresourde and Portillon and he blew up on the way to Pla de Beret
(lost 1.30 like Wiggo today)

You're an idiot.

No shit. Anyone who could hang as long as Wiggins did today is a hell
of a rider in my book. The way Wiggo fought back last year to keep
getting on showed real guts. Guys like Keith are a dime-a-dozen, just
sitting around waiting to stick the knife in on a bad day, enjoying
pissing on riders when the chips are down. Anyone who was out there
today in that race who finished it deserves my respect.

It's pretty rare to see a rider dropped on a climb do well later in
the tour (the harder climbs are yet to come), either the form is there
or it isn't, but I guess you need a first to everything.

So, you interpret Wiggo's comments as supporting your contention that
"this year's tour is obviously too hard for him"? Bizarre.

dumbass,
someone here said that the odds for wiggins were 30:1, so i would say
wiggins rode about how i would've expected.

From Ladbrokes today for a tour win
Tuesday 13th of July, 2010
Time Selection Odds
11:30 Alberto Contador 4/6
Andy Schleck 2/1
Cadel Evans 8/1
Denis Menchov 33/1
Ivan Basso 33/1
Bradley Wiggins 50/1
Roman Kreuziger 50/1
Samuel Sanchez 50/1
Levi Leipheimer 66/1
Robert Gesink 66/1
Jurgen Van Den Broeck
Perhaps the heat did take him by surprise, cold baths in order from
now on. I still think he is able to mark Contador and when the
opportunity arises to set the pace taking time from him. Whether the
team can stay organised to fully support Wiggins will tell in the
result. It's no good him trying to set pace without strong, fresh
support each day.
Keith
I honestly can't imagine Wiggo dropping Contador on a climb unless he
has a very bad day!
