No sucking wheels in the 100k's of ITT where he smashed them
That was where the time was made

Never good to hear about a cylist on car collission, especially when it involces "bruising and bleeding on the brain". I hope that turns out to be less serious than it sounds for Shane Suttonlump_a_charcoal wrote:ANother one!

"The 32-year-old was struck on Crow Orchard Road in Wrightington, Lancashire, as a woman driving a white Vauxhall Astra van pulled out of a BP petrol station. She was heard to have said afterwards: ''I can't believe it. Of all the people to hit, bloody Bradley Wiggins.''grpaxto wrote:They spray he would have given her would have been gold

You clearly didn't watch last year's TdF. That was a very US Postal like performance by Team Sky this year I think Wiggins' shaving off his mutton chops doomed him to bad luck. Anyway, Wiggins is out of hospital and seems to be all ok apart from a dislocated finger (see link below).WyvernRH wrote:Sorry, is this Cadel Evans we are talking about here?....Shred931 wrote:See what happens when you're not three back sucking wheels all the way to Paris.

"There were no scratches on his bike, and it was very, very lucky he had a helmet on. That was the information I was given."
Get well quick Shane. You're an exceptional talent.
