    When was the last time there were nine British riders in a grand tour?

    Okay, ignoring the fact that one's Belgian, one's Maltese, one's Kenyan and one's Finnish :lol:

    Millar grew up in Scotland to age 6...to be fair he has pretty strong links. Didn't wegelius grew up totally in the UK. I agree the Kenyan hasn't the vaguest connection to UK racing. Who is Belgian? :lol:

    which cycling racing scene did they develop in as an amatuer, which coaches, which clubs...if it was all in the UK then they are British in most people's eyes and Brits can take the credit for it...Froome...is a bit of a sciandri type situation...Dario Cioni is Scottish then

    I think the poster was alluding to the fact that the Wiggins family moved to Gent shortly after Brad was born. It wasn't that long ago that I read his autobiography, but I've already forgotten the details. I remember all the stories about his boozing though...

    Wiggins was born in Gent when his dad was racing over there, grew up in Maida Vale, London though, raced for Archer CC as junior didn't he?
