I can loose 5 minutes on a climb but he is considered as a favourite because he wins Dauphiné , Paris - Nice an Romandie thanks to time trials.
I will finish : as-tu déja vu Wiggins attaquer ?

I think my English is good enough for me to answer using that language, no need to ask me questions in French, at least I don't think so. Anyway...

Sucking wheels doesn't apply to your own teammates.
Sucking wheels is Hincapie winning a TDF mountain stage in 2005, Boogerd winning Amstel Gold Race 1999, etc. it means not relaying the person you're with.

What is he supposed to do, given his skills ? Attack several times in a row like Bettini did ? Be an explosive sprinter like Cavendish ?

I hope you blame Rodriguez for being a bad TTist, or Schleck for being just a climber. Riders ride with their own skills...

Surely super domestique duties only given exertions in the Giro. Contador showed the prospect of a Giro-Tour double last year and that was after crusing to the "win" in Italy.

If Contador can't do the double then there is no way in hell that Hesjedal can. The Giro was really lame (barely any attacks and a relatively weak field, or big riders who were out of form) and that played into Hesjedal's hands. I wouldn't even tip a top 10 for him this year.

Add to that the fact that Garmin will probably be riding for Danielson anyway and I don't see any hope.

I agree with the guys above, on the other hand Danielson could be a good bet for top 10 finish on such a course.
I'll be back
