| Wiggins in Maglia Rosa in 2010 - Will he try to win it next year? |
A few days
ago British Cycling coach Shane Sutton said that he would like Bradley Wiggins
to aim at winning all three Grand Tours, meaning targeting Giro d’Italia and
Vuelta España instead of Tour de France in the near future. Yesterday the
route for next year’s Giro d’Italia was revealed and here we saw a 55,5 km individualtime trial on the menu.
Bradley
Wiggins showed in the Vuelta last year that he can stay close to the best
climbers on the steep parts in the mountains and the way Team Sky are rearming
for the new season, they will be very difficult to beat - as if they weren’t
already…
Earlier
this year Chris Froome told me that he “would
be disappointed not to be allowed to at least try and win the Tour de France
next year” and knowing Froome very well could turn out to be the strongest
rider in the Tour once again, I think Wiggins might be happy aiming at the Giro
instead. It sure would make things a lot easier for Team Sky and with three stages
against the clock (55,5 km time trial, 19,4 km mountain time trial and a 17,4
km team time trial) in the Giro d’Italia next year, I think it would be wise for
Wiggins to follow Shane Sutton’s advice and try to put another Grand Tour on
his palmares.
