No way Boonen wins it. Even if he managed to equal Wiggins' palmares, he's not as commercially viable. No market expansion to be done in Belgium.El Pistolero said:A lot can happen in 6 months.

edit: of course, other things could happen to Wiggins.

Two fourth places at the Olympics is nothing to be sniffed at of course.
I know, and I took the chance your joke offered to attack the corrupt UCI, may it burn down among many flames.El Pistolero said:It was a joke.
I voted for Wiggo in my thread Velo d'Or thread even before the Olympic medal.

Funny, but not true. Phinney was 1:09 ahead of Wiggins on the RR but 1:59 down on the ITT. He gets a silver on GC ahead of Froome by about 20 secPhinney takes GC!
Obviously it's a Trofeo dello Scalatori kind of thing, so Phinney won.Morbius said:Funny, but not true. Phinney was 1:09 ahead of Wiggins on the RR but 1:59 down on the ITT. He gets a silver on GC ahead of Froome by about 20 sec

Holtend said:Just watched the medal ceremony and Wiggo didn't even look at Froome, he even turned to Martin to get him to step up the podium for the photos.
Maybe I'm reading too much into a nothing situation?
