see his quotes in 2006 about his 2007 goals. all road. all the time.SuperWiggo said:I don't understand what you mean. He won a mountain stage. His first win as a pro. You have to be very strong climber to hold off the roaring peloton at the end of a breakaway. I think it was a great shame Wiggins did not focus on the road much earlier.
ADDS: In his first year focusing purely on the road, we saw the talent he has.

It wasn't as funny as your comment before about 'caring' about cycling. You Irish removed McQuack yet? That's what I thought...you don't care at all. Actions speak louder than words.
Oh and if your claim was that cycling is learning from swimming you're right. You really aren't smart at all. Who was involved with team Thorpe? You favourite team's Tim Kerrison, who has shown that yes, swimming 'tricks' really do rub off onto cyclists! Great play champ! Great play! Now get back to drafting that letter asking for McQuack's head on a platter for us will you?
