Wiggins achievement is great

but there have been several single TdF winners before, who have not been the best cyclists (Sastre, Pereiro etc.). Wiggins' win was similar - course perfect for him, strongest team, weak field. Winning a 5k and 10k double against the best in the world ranks higher for me as well.
