Wiggins = 4th
Cavendish = 131st.

No further questions, m'lud.

Think it's time you got "on your bike"

the position that cavendish finished isn't that relevent though as he is a specialist sprinter, and during the various mountain stages (the stages which usually indicate where you're gonna finish) most of the sprinters just aim to get through it in one piece, without using up more energy than necessary. The main way to tell the success of a sprinter is by number of stage wins or by the green jersey (which he only missed out on because he got harshly (imo) penalised on one stage)
wiggins on the other hand is more of an all-rounder, and being better suited at the hilly bits meant he finished higher up the standings than cav.

ateotd though i think jedward should've won...

people are always going to vote for their own sport....so its hardly illogical that Man U fans voted for Ryan Giggs, and there's more Man U fans than cycling fans

If Adrian Morley was in the running I bet there would have been a big campaign on here to ring up and vote for him, we would all have voted Morley regardless of whether we really thought he deserved it or not

spot on, i am afraid that due to the massive amount of utd fans in the country, he was always going to win whatever we all think.
Remember Utd fans are like rats, you are always less than 100 yards away from one (thanks Jason Manford for that one)

Apart from in central Manchester or Salford that is...

He played for England schoolboys because (You'll never believe this) he went to school in (wait for it) England!

Giggs won it,who cares move on please.

That's a myth propogated by jealous rivals.

Part myth - part truth.

There are plenty of Man Utd fans in Manchester & Salford, certainly as many as there are City fans.

However, of the 70,000 plus who watch live at Old Trafford, a good half are 'tourists' who travel from far and wide to watch them.....This is where the whole non-Mancunian thing stems from. (By the way, this is researched fact and a similar thing applies to Liverpool, thus the accusation that Everton are the true 'people's club' of the City of Liverpool...)

It's a myth I'm quite happy to perpetuate, one thing I can assure you I am most certainly not is jealous of Manchester United though.

Glad to hear it. I guess from your statement that you are neither a Liverpool or Manchester City supporter then?

nope - as much as I care about tossball I'm a Newcastle fan but would much rather watch a sport not played by overpaid primadonnas & run by people who would rather make a fast million profit than actually put anything back into the game.

Real football is played at a grassroots level these days, anything with the words "fully professional" in it can be ignored as out of touch & irrelevant IMO.
