There's probably a good chance Wiggins will have signed a contract with another team for next year by the start of the Vuelta, so Brailsford will have even less compulsion to try and keep him happy.”
I'm interested in what Wiggins (and Cav) have as targets for the 2016 Olympics because I'm almost convinced that if they want to ride the track events, then they will have to start pulling off the road and concentrating more on track events to get the necessary qualifictions and team slots.

I'd have Geraint as team leader, to be honest.
