Good old Brad.

QUOTE:

‘Entertaining’ isn’t perhaps the first word that springs to mind when
thinking of post-stage press conferences – typically, riders would
rather get back to the team hotel for a massage, food and rest rather
than face questions from journalists, but Bradley Wiggins adopted a
novel approach at the Tour de Romandie, with a series of one-liners in
both English and French earning him a round of applause as he departed
the press room.

In a video posted to YouTube by race organisers complete with
appropriate subtitles in English or French as the case may be, in true
showbiz tradition the Team Sky star, who had just won Stage 1 of the
race following an uncharacteristic sprint to the line, left his
audience wanting more.

The British champion’s relaxed demeanour may of course partly be
explained by the fact that he is in the form of his life on the road –
on Sunday, he sealed overall victory in the Tour de Romandie which
coming after his win earlier this year in Paris-Nice has seen him
widely tipped as favourite to win the Tour de France, which starts in
Liege at the end of next month.

Perhaps more worryingly for his rivals, that unfazed attitude also
seems to be manifesting itself in his behaviour on the bike, with
Wiggins himself highlighting at the Tour de Romandie that when he
encountered a mechanical problem on his bike during the final time
trial, a couple of years ago he might have thrown it into a ditch, as
he had done at the World Championships in Mendrisio; instead, on
Sunday he calmly remounted, and went on to win both the time trial and
the overall title.

Should he confirm expectations and challenge for the maillot jaune at
the Tour, we could be seeing a lot more of the Bradley Wiggins show in
France this summer, both on the road and in the press room afterwards
– the evidence from Switzerland shows he’s on top form in both
situations.

Typical dopey peds, walking on the bike side of a shared use path,
hope the cyclist was OK.

========================================

The pedestrians should not have been on the cycle path no more so than a
pedestrian should not be walking in the middle of a road.

However, bicycles are fitted with brakes and had the cyclist slowed down
when passing instead of ploughing on, the dog probably wouldn't have been
hit. I have no idea what the fate of the dog was and I doubt the dog
deserved to be injured. The cyclist did not appear to stop to find out. Do
you find that acceptable behaviour? If so, there is something wrong.

He looked good despite his swollen cheeks. The odds offered between
him and Cadel are closing for the summer spectacular.

I have just had a cheeky £20 bet on him - the odds were pretty poor,
but it will keep the race interesting.
It would be the icing on the cake to have him in yellow and Cav in
green and that is BEFORE the Olympics even gets under way.

I should state that the odds of 7/2 are not TOO shabby.

I'd like to see Cadel Evans get punched squarely in the face. Rude, arrogant
little ****.
