Looks like Wiggins is out...http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/27729769 wonder if it's because they fear he won't follow team orders or Froome doesn't want him there. Seems a shame, after the tour of California I could have seen him doing a super domestique role, setting a fast pace at the front until the climbs get really steep and negating attacks. Personally I'd have loved to see 2 British tour winners in the flesh riding in the tour.

I'm not going to miss him. Whilst I like him and he is an amazing athlete, 2012 was great, he is also a high maintenance drama queen with a dubious history of being committed in a supporting role when it doesn't suit him (or when he's being 'difficult')Teams are there to win, totally understand Brailsford leaving him out. Doing the tour is hard enough without having someone as unpredictable as he is along.
Yep, but he's the first British winner of the Tour de France,
reminding everyone that team sky is part of the evil empire. What are they going to do once Froome get's done for doping? And Porte as his super domestique?
The tour isn't a parade, he should only be there if he deserves to be. He said he's in the same form as two years ago but doesn't have the results to back that up.
Cycling has a long history of difficult, passionate, excellent riders and Wiggo is another one of those.
