Wiggins Discussion thread.

[willbick]

its amazing how u guys can work out a persons character and hidden motivations from one little quote. you should be working for the secret services or something

 

[willbick]

pls count for me the stageraces he has won without an itt in it

im not saying he has a good chance of winning, he probably wont. but there isnt a rider in the world who would or should give up on the GC when in his current position

...and if you can't detect the tone or subtext of what someone's saying, you probably shouldn't leave the house or go online.

i wish i was as smart as u guys

"I'll have to speak to Rigoberto tonight. He went all out for the stage. It's just whether he feels now he can go for that GC. There's a time trial. He's quite inconsistent like that; he can have a really good day, win a stage like today and then lose a few seconds tomorrow, so we'll have to see how he feels."

Sounds more like him in this Giro thus far. Sir Wiggo, how about when he dropped back to babysit you when he could've been in pink that day?

Huh? What's the point in this comment?

Also, how many World Tour stage races are there without an ITT that a GT contendor is likely to want to compete in?

wiggins can't win a race without an itt in it. that's the point he has NEVER won a race without an itt in it. painful

And? Why would he want to? That's like picking on Nibali for never winning Paris-Roubaix.

You better look for a better analogy. Try again.

 

[coinneach]

And why has Eurosport cut those Snickers adverts from the Giro breaks?
Since Wiggins said he's been descending like a girl, he's looking more like Joan Collins every stage

 

[Panda Claws]

It still drives the point home.

 

[brilleaben]

No. The point is that Wiggins needs a long flat TT to gain minutes on Evans, Nibali etc in order to win the Giro. And so far Urán has been better than Wiggins every terrain in the Giro, besides the TT.

I really, really don't need to. And that makes the point even more.

He also needs to turn the pedals in a circular motion, breath air and consume food.

No matter how Wiggins had performed in the Giro, in forum eyes he would anyways have been wrong. If Wiggins had smashed the Giro, it would entail another boost in the clinics; if he would have won with a small margin, it would have handled very critically too. Wiggins loses the Giro, but for many people he is wrong even when he loses. To be sure! This rider is not entitled to say he would try to do the Giro-Tour double, because in CN mega experts opinion, he is not legitimate GC man. The last one is rationally explained in no way, but that's the case.


I don't consider Wiggins arrogant whatsoever. Rather he is just not very social man who got used to the only thing he can do properly - to the job. He doesn't like people too much generally, because he dislikes ill-wishers like many of you. And I understand him very well.

Riders generally win races which play to their strengths. The days of riders like Eddie Merckx are long gone. For some reason Wiggins has to be different than other riders and win under all conditions to be worthy of any respect.

All techniques Sky soon will claim to have invented due to a "knowledge gap".

The same conditions are also imposed on Cavendish. I think I see a pattern emerging.

no it doesn't ugh. I wish I could violate the tos here for expressing how incredible stupid the things are I read. pls count to me how many flat itt kilometers are in the giro from now on

Remove the 3 TTs from 2012 TDF and Wiggins still wins....

Lol, so true
