Wiggggggginnnnnssssssssssss

Spartacus in 4th

So far, so

Woooo!

Spartacus off the pace…..

Spartacus WTF ?

we might get a froome Wiggo 1 2 😯

Get on Mutton Chops!

bye bye spartacus, its a shame you arnt up there but…… come on wiggo!

Why wouldn’t they ride tubeless?

Tubulars at mega high pressure, I can’t see the racing fraternity changing away from it.

The Wig is first. Oh yes…

this is better than the road racing….

no tatic shenanigans. no being towed to the line.

RE Tubless …because the risk of a pinch flat from a skinny fella is rather low 😉

Tubs are tubeless sort of, don’t know if they run sealant. I wouldn’t think so as races are short in this case and punctures unlikely. In longer stuff there is often a car following with wheels and time less critical.

Splits anyone?

Never watched a TT before. Its great!

fffffffark my live feed thingy has stopped!!!!

Give me the first 4 please?

Chris Boardman still doing sterling work correcting Hugh Porter’s many mistakes 🙂

Why are none of them using the designated bike lanes??

A disgraceful example to set young cyclists – I’ll be sending a letter to the Daily Mail immediately.

Strange, Wiggins looks quite slow but it’s just the camera angles and the fact that he’s pushing a monster gear.

Going to be close between Silver and Bronze.

Go Wiggo! hope he isn’t going too quick too soon!

Tubs are tubeless sort of

Not really – only in that they rarely pinch because there’s no rim hook to pinch on. They still have an inner tube sewn into the tyre.

Road tubeless when it comes will be great IMO – the scariest experience of my life was a front wheel puncture at about 40mph on a bend…

Damn it i should have brought a radio to work!! No-one else in my office is even remotely interested. They might be a bit surprised when i start shouting at the monitor…

That Spanish guy’s visor makes it look like he has a pantomime villain’s moustache

what bike is bradley on?? not a pinerello…

Martin fastest at next split. Ahead of Froome by 20s

Some amazingly big time gaps given it’s only a 50ish km flattish course.

Martin vs Wiggins

Thats fast by Martin

Wiggins faster than Martin by 22s

22s!

Le Wig will be coming through soon…

Wiggo 22 secs ahead with 22 km to go spartacus to come but blown

Martin

Gold and Bronze for team GB? Yes please! 😀

Road tubeless when it comes will be great IMO

Mavic have been doing it for years.

Impressive crowds!

Aaaaaghhhh! Got to go for a 4pm meeting!!!
Do you think you could refrain from putting the result up until I’ve seen the highlights? 😀
Cheers.

COME>>>>>>>>>>ON>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WIGGO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wiggins catches Luis Leon Sanchez (who snapped his chain and got a puncture!)

STW live text feed beats any of the others hand down

come on wiggo

I like it when they ride in the cycle lanes.
