By the way, my above comment about Froome supporting Wiggins was not a criticism of Froome, it was aimed at those who claimed that Froome was the better rider overall. I still maintain that Froome, while clearly ambitious for success of his own, was happy to do what was asked of him.

it would be great if Wiggins could do the same for Froome next year

If the course suits Froome (i.e. more mountains and summit finishes) then it's possible. Sky aren't daft, they'll pick a team leader based on the route rather than blindly sticking with Wiggins IMO. I thought they'd allow Froome to lead the Giro team, but it would be hard to deny him his tour chance.

I've been watching Le Tour since I was 9 years old, I never thought I'd see today come.
Looking forward to next year. With it being the 100th running of the race does anyone else think the organisers will send them up L'Alpe D'Huez, Mont Ventoux and the Galibier?

l'Alpe d'Huez is pencilled in but the date hasn't yet been decided - it's actually starting in Corsica next year
just heard Brian Robinson who was the first british winner of a tour stage in 1958 say that he is in Paris with a delegation in a bid to get a future tour started in his native Yorkshire !!!
as I see it all Yorkshire & France have in common is a foreign language !
