      Maybe a sign of the pressure he's feeling as the tour favourite, or maybe 'Wiggo' is just naturally like that. Not casting judgement, just thought it was worth noting.


      The cameraman thing was totally justified I think. I react in much the same way when a driver comes anywhere near me on the road and, while I'm not the most placid man in the world, I'm no more prone to anger than most. So I don't blame him at all - if it's anything it might be he just needed some sugar at the end of a stage. The cameraman should have looked where he was going - he didn't, and could have ended Wiggins' Tour there and then. Besides, I suspect that many athletes regard the media as nothing more than a necessary evil so they're more than happy to lash out at them when it's remotely justified. I don't think it's a sign of especial pressure.

      And did you see Evans scream at a media person a couple of years ago when he nearly trod on his dog?

      The press conference thing is a bit different and the journalist's take on it seems an attempt to be balanced and understanding of Wiggins' reaction. But it seems a bit of a mountain of a molehill all the same - more a feature of the need to analyse everything in obscure detail, much like this post.

      I expect he's feeling the pressure but I also think it's nothing abnormal at this stage.

      And if he is, then it didn't do him any damage on Monday.

      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



      May the Lord bless this post.

        Haha yep, certainly made me eat my words about feeling the pressure!
        On the Ning Nang Nong
        Where the Cows go Bong!
        And the Monkeys all say Boo!
        There's a Nong Nang Ning
        Where the trees go Ping!
        And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
        On the Nong Ning Nang
        All the mice go Clang!
        And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
        So it's Ning Nang Nong!
        Cows go Bong!
        Nong Nang Ning!
        Trees go Ping!
        Nong Ning Nang!

        What a noisy place to belong,
        Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

            I feel sorry for Wiggins as he has a history being an Olympic champion and he's finished 4th in the Tour before.

            Nibali got totally owned but it almost worked!

            Voight(?) though! wow what legs.

              Four different British stage winners. That's crazy.

              The Etape is going past outside as I sit in a cafe typing this.

                      Classy move from Wiggins to slow the peloton down. Plenty of riders were affected.

                        I heard Rogers say a couple of days ago that some of the fine Australian public have abused him and Porte because they're working for Wiggins against Evans.

                        Could anyone tell me if this sentiment is prevalent in Australia or just the ravings of a small, blinkered, unpleasantly nationalistic minority?

                          Just some small dicked ****wits mate. Australians are proud of their sportspeople's individual achievements too and this extends to those working with a British rider.

                          I want Evans to win but ****ing hell you have to give respect to the Australian part of the Sky train.

                          Hansen being a Far North Queenslander gets a special mention

                                banned substances vary tremendously, from the obvious strength and stamina enhancers, down to something like a cold tablet or nasal spray.
                                removing all the weak links makes us stronger
