Do you know were red rock hill is ??

ride up and down that for 5 hours without a rest, then come back and make that statement.

My boss hasn't seen Sam Tomkins, he's a southerner. Obviously I have as I had a season ticket for quite a while until last year.

Having also seen what Sam Tomkins looks like under that shirt that's obviously a silly statement.

I didn't question Wiggins' cycling ability. I just stated that he doesn't look like an athlete. I'm 99% sure I'd beat him at anything that didn't involve pedaling as he is impossibly thin and frail looking.

Ok. And I could run faster than Wayne Rooney because he looks fat and fat people can't run unless it's to the pie shop.

I genuinely despair sometimes!

Italian sprinter Mario Cipollini was a serial stage winner back in the 90's and took to the podium in his favourite football kit once, so there is form. Think he got fined quite a bit for this stunt though.



The way Froome is riding at the moment we'll have to take advantage of Wiggins whilst we can as next year he'll be fighting his own team mate for glory I think.

To be fair if Wiggins and Froome were doing what they were doing for an England rugby League team the internet would be full of people moaning about them being actually eligible to be selected seem as neither were born in England.

Personnaly I believe that if Wiggins keeps up his level of performance and goes on to win the tour (and by some margin the way he's going and with a 51km time-trial to come) then I would put this as the greatest British sporting performance of the 21st century to date (with Cavendish last year second).

My only disappointment with Wiggins is with his selection of boot-bag though I have e-mailed the ProSky Racing sponsorship manager to point out that Wiggins is using un-solicited equipment, hopefully he'll sort it out.


On a personal level I'm more than happy with the way things are going as I put £25 on Wiggins to win this year's tour after he crashed out last year.

If he can go on to win the race, it would obviously be a tremendous achievement. There is absolutely no doubting the dedication and effort that cyclists put in (even amateur ones put in levels of time and effort that I am personally not willing to match).

This is one reason I laugh about fat people telling me that it's their "glands". Utter crap. Follow the training regime of these guys and I guarantee weight would drop off them.

Sure the sport has had it's doping issues (Lance Armstrong is currently embroilled in one at the moment), but that doesn't mean everyone is at it.

Best of luck Bradley!

Quite. If he wins the Tour (if), it must also be remembered that he has also won Paris Nice, Tour of Romandie and the Dauphine this season as well, so it would be a season the like of which has not been seen for many, many years. On form as well you have to say he is one of the favourites for the Olympic time trial.

fast forward a few month to December.

Sports personality of the year?
lets all vote for him
