Three quarters of the 2012 Tour de France are in the history books—15 stages (plus the prologue) of 21 stages are complete. Here are the standings so far:
The General Classification lead is firmly in the hands of Sky’s Bradley Wiggins; The Sky rider has two minutes over teammate Chris Froome, 2:23 over Liquigas’s Vincenzo Nibali, and 3:19 over BMC’s Cadel Evans. If he doesn’t crash, he will win.
Bradley Wiggins did exactly what was expected: he gained big time on the time trials and held his own in the mountains. His team simply steamrolled the opposition: Richie Porte, Michael Rogers and Chris Froome proved to be as strong (and in Froome’s case, stronger) than the team leader and no other team could bring as much firepower to the climbs.
