not flatter, particularly, but climbs tended to be longer rather than steeper

and there was lots of time trialling. So the course definitely favoured Wiggins a bit (although it also favoured the pre-race favourite, Evans).

I imagine he'll have another go at winning it. But not this year - he wants to now become the first Brit ever to win the Giro d'Italia.
