Cycling - TEam GB

[ADK]

What i don't get is why we didnt join the pack of 30 odd riders in the breakaway, i could understand if the race played out more like the womens with 3 riders up front but just seemed like they got it tactically wrong.

Quite ironic we fail to get a medal because of a break-away but that works to our advantage the next day....

Never rely on the Aussies or Germans to help us!

Do you fancy Wiggins to win the Time Trial and I remeber one of our ladies came 2nd in the 2008 women's version.

If he wasn't before, nailed on for Sports Personality of the Year and a Knighthood.

I bet him at an amazing 8/11 after he won the tour, couldnt believe those odds, if I had more guts I'd have placed a couple of grand on it.

Indeed, I'd be surprised if they were still taking bets on him.

2/11 at the moment....still seems like easy money if you have the funds.

Oh and whats with 'the thrones' tacky or what?

[Guest MattP]

Never in doubt, amazing double and this and the TDF should pretty much guarantee the Knighthood and the Sports Personality of the Year.

Arise Sir Wiggo!

I was going to lump on it but Ennis still worries me, a female athelete is hard to beat if she takes home a gold, even more so with the smile of Jessica.

Bloody Shropshire.

nah unless someone wins 5 godls or something silly its nailed on, tbh even if someone did I just think the historic win at the tour is enough on its own to give him the award.

I completely agree, in my eyes the TDF should give it to him automatic.

I've had my fingers burnt on things like this before though, I was on Ellen McArthur when she was beaten by Beckham and even managed to end up losing to Giggs whilst on Button who had won a World Championship......

I`m going to have a pop on Giggsy, a hat-trick against Uruguay should get a few million extra votes.

And he actually has a personality, unlike most sports people.
