It was decided months before that barring mishaps or poor form, Wiggins would be the main man, because the stages suited him best.
In 2013? I thought the stages suited Froome best what with it being more mountainous this time around. That's what I kept hearing on the radio and TV anyway.
I meant in 2012. This year suits Froome much better, yes. The time trials were much more important last year, and that's where Wiggins has his main strength. Still, I'd be pissed too if I were the first Briton to win the Tour, and then not be allowed to defend it.
Wiggins' comments might stem from internal disagreement, as some of the higher-ups within the team maybe wanted him to try and defend it.
