Bradley puts in his bid: both Giro and Tour, please

11

Wiggo goes on the record stating he is gearing up to try for the Giro / Tour double. With the caveat that a certain Mr Froome of the canine persuasion may have a view, although "we both want to win". The classic two leader strategy, with an added dose of "the road will decide". I genuinely cannot work out whether this is: (a) irrelevant since the last time I checked the calendar it said April; (b) the normal media blather you hear before a big stage race; (c) sensible tactics from Sky to have a fall back plan; (d) scary to the rest of the peloton to have to work against two subtly different but highly dangerous riders on the same team; (e) the worst idea since Hinault was delegated to give Lemond some tactical tutorials; (f) Twitter's wet dream; (g) all of the above. Discuss amongst yourselves. Do please keep the schadenfreude down at the back.
