He's a much better odds-on shout than Cav was, that's for sure
there's way, way less randomness in a time trial.
Brandy is right re Saturday's race - Wiggins and the coaches have made it pretty clear that he turned himself inside out three days ago. It's really hard to know how well he'll be able to recover for tomorrow.
But assuming he does recover OK (and the Tour proved he's very good at recovering quickly), there really ought to be only two men who might beat him - Martin, but he's riding with a broken wrist/hand, and Cancellara, but he came off on Saturday and bruised his shoulder.
Impossible to know how much that injury will hamper Cancellara, in particular. The course suits him, so he may well be good enough anyway.
All in all - those odds are much, much more sensible than Cav's were. But maybe still a bit short, I'd say.
