yup. All about the mountains

The biggest question mark over him ? in terms of being a genuine contender for a Grand Tour like the TdF ? is whether he can keep up with the best climbers over the biggest mountains.

That?s all about power to weight ratio ? so all about how light you can get without sacrificing too much strength. Wiggins has been working on that loads over the last two years ? and getting skinnier and skinnier in the process.

So far seems to have worked, in that he still has the power to win time trials. Will he be light enough to hang on over the giant climbs? First test is today.
