Thank you, Wiggo. Thank you Cav, Froome, Hoy, Pendleton, Reade, Armitstead (Sorry!) and all the rest. Thank you.
but most of all thank you Gilbert, Cancellara & Vinokorov – you are the bad ass rouleurs who showe us that bad boy cyclist are still the best no matter how good a team are. You also teach us that breaking out and riding with a bunch of other badasses is the best way to win a long and epic classic style race. I hope this style of riding inspire British cyclists from now on.
Vino was a doper and Gilbert has been warned by the UCI over blood levels. However we love the Vino’s style, I saw him in TIGNES in 2007, great rider. Gilbert – has done nothing since he was warned off by the UCI.
I never watched most of the ride today as I knew Wiggo would win as Spartacus was injured and Martin was off form, Wiggo was immense this summer so was a dead cert. Will Wiggo break away a.la Spartacus and win the world Champs next ?
Looking forward to the Scotsman Hoy to get some gold soon……
