Just over half way through this years tour and these are the winners and losers so far as i see it:

Winners

Team Sky, Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Peter Sagan, Cadel Evans (for being a terrier that wont let go of Brads leg), Vincenzo Nibali

Losers

Garmin Sharp, Frank Schleck, the cynics of the press pack, Ryder thingy, Marcel Kittel

Stuck in the Land of Confusion

Mark Cavendish

On the subject of Cav and, as i said when he signed for Sky, where does he fit in? In an Olympic year he is probably comfortable with lesser ambition in the Tour but ff to next year and will he be happy to ride for Sky if they arent riding for him? I sense a split in the Coalition

Anyway back to this years Tour and Sky look set for the win. Even if Brad falls off Froomey will still be there and the way that the latter is riding i wouldnt be surprised if he fled the Skyforce for pastures new next season to escape Brads lanky shadow. You heard it here first!

Chapeau Brad (whatever that means!)
