The tour is heating up, Contador vs Armstrong is all anyone can talk about, but is there a british dark horse, quietly sitting there amongst the main GC contenders that no one is even talking about? Bradley Wiggins has spent much of this year climbing, getting better as the road goes up and now he finds himself in the unlikely position of 5th in the TdF after the first mountain stage. If he can match the main contenders like Evans, Sastre et al, with another individual TT to come he could be in with a great shout at the overall if anyone lets him go on a solo day? Let’s hope Bradley gets a top 10 finish and maybe even an outside podium spot, wit Cav in Green we could suddenly be a very real presence in Pro Cycling at last!
