Bradley Wiggins in 'really good condition' ahead of Giro d'Italia

Bradley Wiggins believes he is in a "really good position" ahead of next month's Giro d'Italia and has confirmed that he is targeting the opening time trial in Amsterdam, the team time trial and a spell in the leader's pink jersey. "I'm a lot better than I was this time last year just going into the Giro," Wiggins told cyclingnews.com. "We did some testing on some local climbs in Spain which I was also doing this time last year. It's all numbers-based, but I'm in a really good position. The Olympic gold medallist will race against most of his major Tour de France rivals at Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday, for Team Sky, but he insists the outcome of the race will not be any kind of indication for July's main event. "I never really look at the other guys," he said. "They're much more natural climbers for this kind of thing than I am. I need some more hard work and the climbs don't really suit my style of riding. "I just always keep referring to where I was last year and where I want to be. I'm try not to get sucked into this thing of saying I should be where they are or that I should be side-by-side with Cadel [Evans] on the Mur de Huy, because I'm 100% confident in what I'm doing and where I'll be in July."
