Lead out to 25 seconds for Wiggins

Like an echo every time

Like an echo every time

Sorry! I'll leave you to it now.

 

[roundabout]

I imagine Wiggins going at 90% while behind they are going at 88%.

Probably looks like a 1-nation rerun of the Sydney Olympics.

Wow. How weak is the field when Wiggins can win a road race solo?

To be honest, it's really not that weak. Just got in the right move, which split and split again until 3 team sky upfront. He attacked in the last few k's.

Well, pretty much all good british riders are on Sky or they are pretty much left alone without a team like Cav etc. Sky just crushes the field and then settle things between themselves.

30 secs now. game over I would suggest.

That's it then Wiggins will be so far up his own A$$ he'll be unbearable

 

[Andy99]

Yeah. Would really have liked G to retain it. Oh well.

 

[William H]

It'll be easier to pick him out getting dropped in the mountains

 

[Boardslide]

Yeah. Would really have liked G to retain it. Oh well.

Yeah I think with G there would have been a better showing. What do you think of Wiggins plans to ride the tour next year and then ride the pursuit & time trial at the olympics.

 

[JRanton]

Stannard came 4th

Sky 1-2-3-4

I think it's likely to end in tears.

 

[Boardslide]

I think it's likely to end in tears.

I think he really believes this BS

"I'm looking at doing the Tour next year with the goal of doing the general classification and the road time trial in the Games

"I haven't discounted jumping up into the team pursuit. The way my form is, if I was to get up tomorrow with Geraint Thomas and Ed Clancy, we'd go as fast as we did in January off the back of six weeks' track work."

Ugh Wiggins

 

[hatcher]

The best part of Wiggins winning is how much it annoys you people.

 

[Winterfold]

Not exactly sure what winning that achieves for Wiggo - but it will be fun watching some of the reaction on here

 

[royalpig180]

CQ says Sagan has won the Slovakian road title... W00t

 

[jens_attacks]

wiggins is a deserved winner,a national jersey in the middle of the action is better than one in the back of the peloton.

 

[Parrulo]

wigans wining doesn't bother me at all.

good win for him

 

[jens_attacks]

wiggins is like a fox,he talked shiit about alberto than he says a completely other version which i understood and appreciate it.now i won't hate him in le tour as it was the case in 2009.
