I think they are the same person with 2 profiles.
One is the sensible, eloquent, intellectual
and then there's Graham

I think that this blog Brad wrote for the Grauniad is the best thing about how his life would fall apart if he doped. I may have an idealistic, some may say naive, view of the world, but I trust Brad implicitly.

shame boonen might not be riding he could have beaten the cult of cav and showed wiggo how you actually go about winning races and excite people at the same time.

You mean the same Tom Boonen who was suspended for Cocaine use in 2009 (okay, out of competition) & had actually been tested postive three times for the cr@p!!!

No one has mentioned David "it was everbody else's fault but mine" Millar for a while-but, of course, he is riding for "Cav".

There are two kinds of cycling fans now: those who know outstanding riding when they see it and knew something about the sport before the TdF started; and those who only recognise a British vest.

Well you can clearly identify Millar and Cav so I know which camp you're in ;)

You've got me there Graham, my knowledge of cycling pre-1903 is patchy.

Apparently Wiggins can churn out 7 watts/kg in contrast to the average "handy amateur" cyclist's 4 watts/kg. Any idea what our cycling experts on the forum can produce? 4 watts/kg seems to be equivalent to a VO2 max of about 63 mls/kg/min, though the relationship is not linear.

Really, really happy for all you bike fans. This must be the pinnacle of UK sporting achievement to equal Redgraves 5 golds? Just wish McTim had laid the tennis hoodoo to rest as well!
Wiggo obviously a shoo-in for SPOTY and a K but surely Brailsford should get a K too?

Fantastic achievement.
