    JTL and Froome have the same sort of style. Blast it up the climbs, not this “tempo” riding that Wiggo likes.

    I agree, but I think the way the Sky camp is ‘working’ (or not) is Wiggo will get his pick and then Froome has the rest.

    I can see JTL being sent to race with Wiggo as his super domestique, whilst Froome races separately.

    I do want to see a Contador v JTL smash up on some big mountains mind. That would be something.

    He can 4th, but will be 3rd once Armstrong’s case is over with 😉

    But that year his team leader was Christian Vande Velde and could only finish 8th. So wasn’t as strong as Wiggo and there was no-one else in the team to back it up apart from him.

    Lets just say they got to the TdF next year with, Wiggo and or Froome. Then pick a few more from below

    EBH, Eisel, Knees, Rogers, Porte, Sutton, Thomas, Cataldo, Kiryienka, Lopez Garcia, Rasch, Dombrowski, Heano, Uran, Sivtsov and JTL

    Where is he going to get a chance at a big tour? Let alone smaller races or classic’s. Sky has them all covered before signing JTL……:?

    You do know he’s 27, 28 in a couple of months. So in a couple of years will be 30.

    With Froome being 18 months younger and others coming up through the ranks. JTL is just going to be a good DS and get his chance is small low profile races.

    Totally agree. He will be a bit part player with Sky and at his age needs to be more involved. Shame really.
