There are a number of errors in the above quote.

i thought he broke mcgee's jnr IP wr which was around 3'20. I thought he set it in about (wiggo), in Colombia or somewhere in south america (tho coulda been central/meheeco) in 1998.

yep, i could be wrong, but this is what my memory gives out. sry if wrong

I think you're talking about Cuba...I went to his Wiki, I don't know anything about it other than that...and don't really care too much because aside from doping, or anything else, he is a world class d0uche of the highest caliber. He's the yellow jersey of d0uches. He would win the 3km pursuit world championship of D0ucheness easily. He'd lap the filed. His d0uche could win the D0uche Giro, the D0uche Tour de France, and the D0uche Vuelta back to back to back, and then he'd go to the D0uche track and road and TT worlds and win them too.

If you haven't caught on by now, that guy's a d0uche.

Wigans never held it. Since Brad McGee it's been Michael Ford, Taylor Phinney, Michael Hepburn and Parker Dale.

Not exactly correct, my friend, even if that is what it says at UCI.ch.

That is not quite correct, my friend. Don't believe everything you Google.

Yes, my friend, it was obvious what you googled.
You should have googled cycling.org.au. as well.
Google, but verify.

 

[42x16ss]

Actually I went straight to uci.ch and looked at the track records. No Google required.

The typo on Dale Parker?

Should have picked that up first time! No need for CA website

We have another podium finisher from the D0uche 3km pursuit WC right here on this thread.

Oldcrank, sent a "personal message" to 42x16. do you have a message route? I remember the times from Olman and Ford, and Palmers times at Youth Olympics in Sydney as a 15yo11month. I had even sent a spreadsheet of times from jnrs sub 325" to Hepburn's coach @ QIS. This was when i was following, about 6 years ago, then gave up on the sport, and just came for the funnies.

Anyone with half a brain who was watching the TdF in '99 knew that Armstrong was doping!!!.

I recall an interview with Walsh where he said that when Armstrong first blew everyone away in the mountains on the 1999 Tour half those in the press room were laughing and shaking their head, commenting that there was no way he was racing clean.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

PONT-SAINT-ESPRIT, France (VN) — There was a collective groan among the press corps Sunday when Chris Froome (Sky) turned the screws with about 7km to go on France’s hardest climb to drop Alberto Contador (Saxo-Tinkoff).

No, the freebie buffet hadn’t run out. Team Sky just dropped a Froome bomb. And it ****ed people off.

“That attack is not the smartest PR move,” grumbled one scandal-weary scribe, “not if he doesn’t want to raise eyebrows.”

Froome made Contador look like an espoir. The Sky captain spun his legs as if they were well-lubed pistons, churning out huge power, grinding his way toward the Ventoux summit and victory, only to leave a swath of doubt in his wake.

[Dear Wiggo]

The one thing Wiggo did well was reign the climbing in for his Tour.

Maybe if you went back and volunteered once a week at your local track
league and gave a hand to the U15's and U13's you would regain your
love for the sport. It sounds to me as if you have some knowledge and
and experience that could benefit the youngsters, my friend.

He readily acknowledges that winning the Tour did not come easily to him. "I hated it last year. I tried to shy away from it. I didn't like doing team presentations at races, being introduced as the winner of the Tour. I felt quite embarrassed by it. I don't know why that was. I think a lot of it was to do with the Lance Armstrong stuff.

"After the Lance thing broke it just got horrible and that affected how I came back to Europe [in 2013]. There is a whole knock-on effect in the rest of your life. When I did win the Tour I felt I was feted more in the UK for being an Olympic gold medallist ... Then I come back to Europe to race and they're not interested in the Olympic gold, it's about being the winner of the Tour de France – here he is.

"The Lance stuff was so raw, people were so angry about it. I felt like I was constantly being judged, I felt I'd had enough of it, it was constant. Now a year on, not having done the Tour [in 2013], all that side of it has settled down, now I'm starting to embrace it more, that I've won the Tour de France" – and here, there is an extra emphasis on the W-word as he speaks – "and I can carry myself with a bit of pride. You know what? I've won the Tour de France and now I feel ready to talk about it."

Sounds like a man who is embarrassed by what he did to win after all those years of supposedly being against doping.

agreed. Note also how he avoids the word doping, speaking about "the lance thing", "the lance stuff",etc.

 

[the sceptic]

That's hardly surprising, when you bear in mind that the Tour was Wiggins's focus from the moment he resumed training after the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He describes "having a monkey on my back for four years about winning the Tour

Wait, people thought Wiggins would win the tour for 4 years before he did so?

Time to dig up some old interviews.. This one is gold.

So now I want to do something on the road. All that is really missing is a yellow jersey, like from a prologue win at the Tour."

"I felt that perhaps the role I would have fallen into if I were to stay with them for the next few years would be to just lead Mark Cavendish out in all the sprints! As much as I would love to do that, I still have some ambitions for myself," he adds.

"The peloton is getting slower and slower, and the chance to win a stage in something like the Tour is so realistic now – it's within hands' reach," says Wiggins. "With Schumacher gone it pushed Dave [Zabriskie] up to second in the TT behind Kirchen. So all of a sudden you think on a day I could maybe be as good as Dave, then you think I could win a stage in the Tour. That is my big goal, to win a stage.
