A chance for Sky to touch the Sky

Team Sky has the ideal position for the 2012 Cycling Season and particularly for Le Tour de France and the London Olympics.

With two  big names, and even bigger egos to uphold, there was going to be the question of whether Sky in Le Tour would aspire for either the defence of the Green Jersey (Mark 

Cavendish) or go for gold (or in this case, yellow for Bradley Wiggins).

However i feel that there will be more of a focus on Cavendish’ plight to gain another 

Green Jersey for his blistering performances in sprinting- and to gain the most points  s opposed to going for the larger, and far harder challenge of yellow.

This is not say that there will not be a time when this does occur.

But I will not be in the year of the Olympics.

Wiggins is an expert on the track in events such as the Madison and the Pursuit (he has won 6 Olympic medals, including two gold, since the 2000 Sydney Olympics).

I’d imagine that the focus for Wiggins would be the Olympics this year as opposed to the 

Tour but it has confirmed the focus will be more on the road race and time trial (which Wiggins is also rather good at).

Will Sky get to have the cake of brilliant riders, and have the cake of them collecting big this season?

Thoughts?
