4. Best Domestique in the World
Whisper it quietely but Bradley Wiggins isn't even the most accomplished Grand Tour rider on his own team. No, that honour falls to the Kenyan born Brit Christopher Froome who finished second in last year's Tour of Spain and might well have been able to do something about the agonising thirteen seconds that lost him the race had he not been instructed to continue working for Brad whilst wearing the leaders jersey. Nonetheless, having one of the most talented all rounders in the peloton as his chief assistant will be a major boost for Wiggins who will need to rely on Froome in the mountains to control the pace at the front, chase down any significant attacks, help Wiggins regain his bearings should he be dropped by the elite climbers and allow his team leader to save energy by following his wheel on the steeper sections of the mountains.
