Wiggins could miss TDF due to chest infection, knee injury

[horsinabout]

Wiggins has pulled out of the TdF. So perhaps certain posters can desist in writing endless amounts of unsubstantiated bitter and twisted BS.

This forum has hog (sorry bog) all to do with freedom of speech and expressing a world view but everything to do with freedom to write thousands of posts of utter bollo*ks. And occasionally, for no good reason other than sick entertainment, to bait other posters. I thought this was against forum rules? Now that's enough to make a cat laugh

Hitch wants to see Wiggins fail. Now we won't know what would happen if Wiggins was there. Some british journalist might even downgrade the future winner now cause no wiggins. ****ing idiots...

I understand Hitch, i also wanted to see the fail

Many of use who make jokes about it are (i think) all disappointed. Seeing Wiggins fail is something we've been looking forward to all year.

At least we've the giro fail

Are you Laf's Sockpuppet?

And another stiff upper lip goes soft...

In the clinic people are absolutely certain of one unproven conclusion, and here there seems to be a collective certainty that Wiggins is faking an injury in a deliberate, disgraceful slight to the TDF as a race and Chris Froome as an individual.

Perhaps. But the ability of some people to write about it without a hint of doubt leaves me a little jealous of their tin-foil hat collections.

The fact it's even discussed as a binary possibility of injured or can't be bothered shows a lack of awareness which shouldn't really be surprising given the average age of posters.

Being controversial here is the only way you can get heard over all the clamoring to get your opinion in...

My cat is too cynical to laugh. Instead he has to make due with a solid purr that comes from being right about Wiggums. But I am sure that at some intellectual level--or what passes as an intellectual level for a cat--he understands the hilarity of July 2012 fanboys' hopes being dashed and the willingness to accept any excuse, no matter how implausible.

Way to over-exaggerate. A few people who side with the common sense crowd in the clinic, seem to think he is faking, a few others have gotten a bit excited about it and taken it a step further. Plenty of others have not and it is by no means a "collective certainty".

A shame to see you have decided like a few others to go the way of the - "wah the whole world is against me" moans, rather than take on the people you disagree with individually. A shame because you are so very good and its always fun to see.

Hearing rumours Froome has done a Tonya Harding and that is the reason for Wiggins knee injury!

 

[richard_91]

no matter how implausible.

I'm not exactly running out of tissues crying because of wiggins missing the tdf but this is hardly the most Implausible reasoning, anyone who watched the giro obviously saw his messed up knee but also that he was suffering through flu like plenty of other guys it just seems that when a GC rider gets it that people think its over exaggerated

Now if Wiggins had a perfectly fine giro and they made this up then yeh it's unrealistic l, but him taking too long to recover for Skys liking, plus the added bonus for DB of getting rid of the leadership question marks, is not some out of this world theory

Brian Smith indicates that Wiggins injury is BS

I am no fan of sky, or Brailsford. I think you need to read my posts! I do not and never will be a convert to their riding style, over reliance power metres etc...As for Wiggins faking injuries, well I don't know, but I think he is a little damaged, more in the head than anywhere else. He can always use his injured knee reason later on to visit one of those cycling doctors. They are always so good at fixing knees.

16 but one of the most thoughtful posters on here.

De facto, Sky's PR is again BS. Wigans had a minor tendonitis in the Giro, according to himself, when he abandoned the Giro two weeks ago he could/should have been treated with cortisone and he would have been just fine fleur by now. Even with cortisone patches he would have been race fit for the Tour. He just dont want to play second violin to the peasant from Africa.

That is it in a nutshell. Froome has the support and Wiggins doesn't like it.

Though after this year, I dare say Froome won't be a peasant with the amount of money they're going to throw at him in terms of contracts and endorsements. Sky's problem. Too many roosters in the hen house.
