Wiggins: This is the best shape I've been in for the Tour

Bradley Wiggins, Criterium du Dauphine 2012, stage four ITT

Bradley Wiggins pocketed another stage race win, his third of the season, today in the Critérium du Dauphiné. He left the race, heading for the team's hotel and a few days of Tour de France recon, with the leader's yellow jersey in his back pocket.

Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) tried to take back the jersey on a few occasions, but fell short. The two will face off again in the Tour de France, starting in just three weeks.
