S-s-substitute me for him...



Bjarne Riis in his own mischievous way has come out and said what most of us probably think:

Riis sees the balance of power changing on Team Sky, and in his opinion, the team has put its money on the wrong horse. Christopher Froome, now second, is stronger than his captain and race leader Bradley Wiggins, he said.

“It will be interesting in the final week, because as before, I would say that Froome is top favourite,” Riis told sporten.dk. “They made a mistake during the Vuelta last year..”
And it is not yet too late for Sky to alter things, he told ekstrabladet.dk. “I think they are about to make the role change – perhaps.”

Wiggins was also leader in the Vuelta last year, with Froome as his superdomestique, but things changed during the race, when Wiggins weakened in the mountains. In the end, Froome was second overall, only 13 seconds behind winner Juan Jose Cobo, with Wiggins third at 1:39.
