Yeah, I'm the one that needs to grow up here... Lol. Just saying the truth, track cycling is only taken seriously in a few countries. The British have won 4 out of 10 track events so far with an additional 2 silver medals...
Track cycling at the Olympics might as well be the Commonwealth Games. 11 out of the 18 medals handed out so far were won by Anglophones. Might as well make cyclocross an Olympic sport while we're at it.
But Wiggins isn't just a track rider...
That's why I mainly judge him by his palmares built up on the road. Good rider, one of the best, but there are quite a few who are better than him like Boonen, Cancellara, Contador, Froome, Nibali, Valverde, Sagan, etc.
I think Valverde is the only rider out of those who you can sort of compare to Wiggins, the others are ridiculously talented in their own field, but never diversified, Valverde was just unfortunate to be born too late, otherwise he'd be talked about with Hinault.
If Wiggins would have purely concentrated on Road, could he have been Indurain 2.0? I think the wattage is there, he just seems to lack the motivation to stick to one discipline
