An open plea to Phil and Paul: it's time to put a f******n sock in it. We know poor Bradley Wiggins crashed and had to withdraw from the Tour, and we know it's a crying shame, a horrible blow to UK cycling and Team Sky in particular, and a tragedy for Wiggins who I daresay had the best form of his career coming into this Tour, blah blah blah, but NOW IS THE TIME to STOP mentioning it every 10 minutes or every time there's not much else in the peloton to comment upon. Please?
You'll need to dip deep into the suitcase of courage to master this, and I know from comments made that you check online forums etc, so for pity sake, move on. There's an entire bike race happening within it's own little bubble for you to focus on, so the constant repetition and 'what might have been' is of no consequence whatsoever. It's not even good style.
Poor Bradley, who was dealt such a cruel blow, whose fleece was more golden than even the golden fleece of the Argonaut Voeckler, whose courage in the face of adversity, and shrubbery, was the stuff of legends, whose lack of weight was much considered in view of the looming appointment with the high mountains, is, to put it bluntly, not there. He's gone home. He did so some days ago and thus plays no further part in 'the grand boucle'; and your nagging is more in the manner of two slightly manky hyena chewing the last sinews from a thigh bone than commentary to be celebrated. By all means occasionally mention that poor Bradley Wiggins, the man upon whom Team Sky placed their hopes, nay their expectations, their sacred trust, was forced out of the Tour some time ago... you have a duty to your public to inform them of that fact, and fact it remains.
Yours lovingly,
RC
