If the route rumors are true, and next year's course will heavily favor a climber I don't think that Sky will simply mail the race in.
That's what I see. I'm not convinced Wiggins can play a strong support role in a climb heavy Tour. At the same time I'm not convinced he would come out on top if supported as leader with a heavy climbing emphasis. Then again, next year will not see an Olympic effort right after the Tour so really who knows how much energy conservation we witnessed from the Sky team this year. Next year all bets are off...
