Still have a hard time believing that Wiggins has won the tour... maybe he'll do a come back and it'll all become apparent how he managed it.

Anyway Wiggins to break the hour record and that smug head to increase in size.

Sir Bradley Wiggins will aim to reach 55.250km in his world hour record attempt on Sunday and has refused to rule out pushing on towards Chris Boardman’s all-time longest distance of 56.375km.

New rules dictate that Wiggins can only use a conventional time-trial bike, which puts him at a significant disadvantage against Boardman’s defunct record, but the 2012 Tour de France winner believes that he could still eclipse it if the conditions are favourable.

this should be fun..

what, like a tailwind?

Barometric pressure... could easily make a 500m difference according to Hutchinson.

Johan Bruyneel is inner track at Wiggins' hour attempt. Very disappointing a guy who has a life ban for doping riders has such a privilege.

@UCI_cycling @BrianCooksonUCI please clarify why the banned Johan Bruyneel is present at a UCI event. Isn't that part of his life ban?

Hmmm, some people judge others by the company they keep.....................

That's an utter disgrace if true.
 
No idea what UCI, Wiggins and whoever is with him are playing at then. If he complains if people bring it up after the event then he can go... himself. The only worse thing he could do is have Lance come out and give him the certificate (if he does it).

Just hoping it doesn't get broken. Just for the 'comedy value' of the post attempt interview.

Brailsford just said that it's important for Brad that every friend and people close to him to attend. That's why is Johan there?
Johan is a friend of Miguel, who is a friend of Pinarello, but that is from Pastronef.

Another little gem for those of the clean 'new generation'... Andrew McQuaid manages Team Wiggins? You really couldn't make this stuff up.

for sure Indurain was invited by Wiggins or Pinarello.
Bruyneel lives right there in London, and had a vip pass
