Feel sorry for Froome, again! In any other year he would be heralded as the legend he probably deserves to be seen as!
simply awesome, and that is from just reading what happened
I hope they have that Lesley Garrett bird singing the anthem again.
😆
not only that - at least now he will be remembered as the winner of the 2012 TDF and 2012 olympic TT - and not as the british press love to do remembered as the guy who lost the olympics.
He's riding without a helmet!
Burn him! 🙂
That has got to put him up there as one of the country's greatest sportsmen ever.
What a year for Wiggins, most decorated British Olympian ever now too!
Sir Bradley Wiggins, and SPOTY with Dave Brailsford to get a Sir Hood as well.
Awesome, what a rider what a team long may it continue.
Boris Johnson drops in to offer congratulations;

Sideburns bigger than ever today
Outstanding!
Office stopped for last ten km or so, and all crowded round to watch!
Superb.
And to think he did it all on those chainrings 😉
Christ, that was a 1966 of a moment. Effing magic.
Superb! Quite emotional! 😆
do side burns do a similar job to the dimples on a golf ball?
so who's better? redgrave for 5 golds or wiggins for 7 medals?
Seems to be some differences of opinion

If you take into account everything else i think Wiggo wins by a mile simply because of the TdF win.
oh yeah 🙂
Now in the top 10 of the medal table! fantastic!
I'm gonna grow some sideburns now for sure!! 😉

If you do it by points 3 gold 2 silver 1 bronze then wiggins has 16 points and Redgrave has 16 points.
TDF is a big plus but redgrave has won a lot of WC stuff too.
(mind you redgrave has retired wiggo still got a few years yet hopefully)
Only reason I ask is the TT coverage were saying greatest british sportsman, cut to BBC1 who said second greatest behind redgrave.
Wife is expecting in September.
What say the STW massive we call him Bradley!
Awesome stuff. He's a legend.
Excellent effort from Froome as well, hope he gets the recognition he deserves for what he's done in the last year.
Chapeau Wiggo !
D'you think he might have a little holiday now and hit the pies.
I would

Ah but wait for the track racing when Chris Hoy overtakes them both. 😉
Redgrave needed teammates 😉
brad has won every time he rode without a team
Pointless debate really TBH - tomorrow we may have to add Hoy to the list as well if he gets a Gold
Pies he has wigan Kebab on order [ pie in a bap]

Sounds like destiny calling, hope its a boy, could be embarrassing for a girl growing up being called Bradley.

Hoy loses the equivalent of a gold medal for each awful advert he does.
Double Bloody Decker!

Local wine suppliers are preparing themselves for his onslaught....!
Already know it's a boy. It's in the bag!

thought you weren't telling anyone? Your missus is going to kill you 😀
That podium is slightly off centre.
why are we waiting 😀
quality stuff from the beeb
Up there with Paul Gascoyne in Italia 90, in terms of transforming the status of a sport. Wiggins - someone to believe in at last!
Froome gets Bronze - crowd goes wild
Martin gets Silver - polite applause
Wiggins gets Gold - can't hear yourself think.
🙂
Wiggo......Wiggo.............Wiggo
Phew, thought that loud northern woman was about to pop up and warble at any moment...
Ladbrokes have paid out on all bets for Wiggins to win SPOTY.
What I really like about this, is that is the public have been able to get so involved.
Great Crowds, Great Win..... Great Great Day!

How many events is Hoy competing? Is it just the Keirin or pursuit too?

Keirin and team sprint.
