Local club TT?

Tough call on who to add to Wiggins for the TT.
Cummings has beaten Dowsett recently, Thomas was on fine form post TdF and beat Dowsett in the Nationals. Dowsett is a TT specialist.
Wiggins won't do the RR will he? Or maybe he will if Froome doesn't!

Woohoo
Wiggo on fire

 

[Beebo]

Yeh, that's a point. When is he going to wear his rainbow jersey?

In bed with the missus?
Can he wear the small rainbow flashes on his sleeves, or is that only for Road Race winners?

God I'd love to see him at the Tuesday Rainford 10 miler....

Caught the last 25 mins on Portuguese telly cos my wife happened to run into the coverage when flicking through the channels in our hotel room. Yay!

Must say I thought Tony Martin didn't look as smooth as usual, but Wiggo was gliding like a swan. It looked like he already had it in the bag by the time I started watching. Awesome ride.

Well, that was a pretty awesome display. He's an odd character and sometimes his own worst enemy, but you really can't knock his palmares, can you? And I hope this means we'll stop getting the 'what's Wiggins ever done' comments here... you can't put this one down to being dragged around France unwillingly by a great team (and yes, I am being sarcastic about that description of winning the Tdf!).

What a supreme judgement of effort that was. Would have been easy to go out too hard on that course.

How many seconds drag is Wiggins' beard worth?
It amuses me that he has aero everything and a beard.

The hairs energise the boundary layer. Reduces drag. It's actually a self adhesive beard developed by Boardman's secret squirrel team.

The same people who put shaved legs in wind tunnel and proved them quicker, found no disadvantage in beards

A great effort by Wiggins and to get the gold has really made it another year to remember for him and his fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
