Tour de France 2009 stage 18: Contador wins with awesome display

Overall: Schleck A holds second, Armstrong back in third, Wiggins fourth

Tour de France 2009 Stage 17: Schlecks move up as Wiggins & Armstrong pushed down

Good day for the Schlecks and Astana but a bad day for Wiggins

Wiggins can inspire a generation...

The irony hasn’t been lost on me. I spent time the first week of my trip reading the Robert Millar biography thinking back to when we had a Brit who could excel in the Tour mountains.

The following week I was on the roadside watching the Tour unfold and yelling in Mark Cavendish’s ear as he went past. Despite having his critics I have used this blog to defend Mark to the hilt, the last two weeks have left me unsure of him and it would appear that in the form of Bradley Wiggins I might have been backing the wrong horse.

Wiggins: the real deal?

Not that i expect him to win or anything, but wiggo looks like a bona fide GC contender for the next couple of years right now. he's dropped some weight, his attitude is good, we know he can mix it with the best of them in a TT... and now he can climb too?

be interesting to see where he is at the top of Verbier and the Ventoux, but so far he's barely put a foot wrong. can he stay top five?
