Tough year for Cadel. Hardly any racing pre tdF due to illness and injuries, so I don't think anyone's surprised that he couldn't repeat the form of last year.
It's a shame not to see riders like Andy Schleck and Contador out there...fairly certain they could have detroyed Wiggins in the climbs. Pretty boring tdF due to a ridiculously time trial oriented course designed specifically for a rider like Wiggins or a fit Cadel to win. Hope there's more mountain top finishes next year - this year has been outrageous.
