Wiggins !

Wow ! When was the last time there was such a surprise on the tour ?
Look like he could finish second in Paris especially with Vandevelde
racing for him now. Nice lead by Millar at the foot too.

Who knows, if Contador gets injured in the next 5 years (like Hinault
or Fignon did) he might even win the TDF one day.

Michael Rasmussen comes to mind.

Hmmm, such a big advance in one year, and yet it doesn't make *you*
wonder. Maybe you're into lanky guys with mop tops.

Well he'd been a contender for a while, he'd never really gone for the
general, a bit like when Pantani won in 1998...

If he weren't in the Garmin team I'd have some doubts, but it's hard
to image Wiggins going to the darkside there, and even if he did not
being caught by the internal controls or spotted by Millar.

I doubt "poor David Millar's" little charade extends quite that far.

I thought I read/heard that he'd dropped 7 kg of bodyweight since
winning his medals. Is that enough to explain what we're seeing? I
honestly don't know but I'm content to believe it is.

Right. No way is Wiggins dirty. Do you know if he owns a dog?

Whether he did or did not lose 7 kg would be a matter of verifiable
fact. As such, we do not allow it to influence our beliefs, unless it
happens to support them.

It's the way things are.

He's super-motivated. There can be no other explanation.

Until this year Bradleys career has revolved around the Velodrome, his
forays into road cycling have really just been to keep him fit for the
Olympics and the Worlds.
He's now decided to have a serious stab at road cycling and it looks as if
he's going to do well. ..and yes he has lost weight
