bloody enjoyed the whole tour, best for a while , still undecided whether the cobbles have a place in a grand tour, on one hand they all have to ride them so all equal, o the other hand , too much depends on luck

Wiggins talking to the eternally-banned seems to think Team UAE are his Garmin, unable to support a win, and Jumbo are his Sky, ready to dump Roglič now a younger star has risen. https://www.stickybottle.com/latest...ken-unit-any-tour-hopes-now-ended-for-roglic/

I don't get why people are still even bothering with Lance. Plenty of clean athletes to focus on.

Apparently Brads got a full back tattoo of Lances face and his seven yellow jerseys 😁

He seems to have had a resurgence recently. I shouldn't talk I guess, being a fan of well-spoken Millar, but the Lance thing does surprise me.
Then again, look how many 'mercins voted Trump ...
(apart from one interview, any other evidence of Wiggins being a Lance fan? @Adam4868 ? Anyone? Admittedly, he doesn't seem to worry much what people think about him 👍)

Apart from having him in his book as a "icon" I'm sure there's a few "he's just a lost soul trying to redeem himself" sort of articles about on the web from Brad.

@Adam4868 beat me to it, he named him as one of his heroes a while back https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/46051098

But it's all fine. There may be doper fan and doping suspect Wiggins, former Armstrong teammate McEwen, Clenbuterol Contador, former Sinkewitz-era Telekom rider Eisel, twice-positive Kelly and fark knows who else on GCN, but its fans get upset with ITV over one repentant ex-doper? Is it because he confessed and didn't dispute his UCI ban, unlike most of GCN's dopers? Certain fans prefer to believe the denials and hate those who reveal that not everything is honest.
