With the first long time trial of the 2012 Tour de France coming up, expect to see overall favorites Bradley Wiggins and Cadel Evans following wheels in Stages 7 and 8 as the Tour tackles the first mountains of this year’s race. After all, as two of the Tour’s best time trialists, these overall contenders already occupy places high in the overall standings and will certainly add to their advantages in the Stage 9 time trial. They have also lost little time during a tumultuous first week and will therefore find little reason to go on the offensive with the Alps, Pyrenees, and one more long time trial still to come later in the Tour.
