Have to give Wiggins and co some credit though, yes they look very relaxed and efficient and the technology will help but theyve always got a huge group behind them doing exactly the same pace.I don't know why other teams arent attackinghttps://community.betfair.com/other_sports/go/thread/view/94142/29240943/skys-success-and-the-death-of-entertaining-climbing?post_id=522086687#522086687Good posts.
