Can't see any coverage of this in Radio Times - is anyone broadcasting the World's? Wiggo sounds confident of beating Martin on Radio 5.

In reply to alam_kouh:


Can't see it myself, however much I'd like to. Martin has been a cut above the rest for the last few years.

In reply to Lord of Starkness:

Didn't seem to be on the Red Button or the website. Maybe I just haven't got the hang of it. Moot now at any rate, since it would also seem the take-off times were local and it's all over already

In reply to nufkin:


It was on the website but I'm still weeping over the result so can't see it any more either.

In reply to alam_kouh:

Very good showing by wiggo... makes Sky's selection decisions this year look quite dubious.

In reply to balmybaldwin:


Possibly, but then maybe he wouldn't have done so well if he'd spent all summer aboard the Sky Train chugging around France and Spain

In reply to nufkin:

true, but it shows he's still got it and isn't the has been that he's been made out to be in some quarters

In reply to alam_kouh:
wiggo for spoty? that would really piss froome off!


(Incidentally, I am very much more of a Froome fan than I was pre vuelta)

In reply to balmybaldwin:


In what way ? this was a single ITT not a grand tour (or even a tour of Britain for that matter)

In reply to nufkin:


Which may or may not be the reason Tony Martin didn't live up to life as favorite here.

In reply to DaveHK:

I will now quite cheerfully eat my hat. Amazing performance.

In reply to DaveHK:

I assumed Wiggins was all talk but it appears he was in great condition after all and right there to take full advantage when Martin wasn't his usual great.

I hope this keeps the Wiggins' moral up through the winter and we see him at 100% in the spring classics.

In reply to alam_kouh:

If there's one thing that marks Wiggo out in my opinion it is that he is rarely all talk. A great performance.

I would be curious if he's a dream or a nightmare to work with as a coach
