    Doctors have warned that he must put weight back on after the Tour to avert illness and muscle wastage.

    :shock:

    Unfortunately, according to Cycling News, Cancellara has also lost 7kg. Today's results prove the point. Great performance though, Wiggo.

    If the fat cow had lost 8kg's he might have won.

    Personally, I think it's a shame that he spent all the time that he did focusing on the track. But there you go. For sure, focusing on the track was the only way to win lots of gold at the Olympics. However, it would be interesting to see if he could have gone further on the road, had he spent more time focusing on it.

    Traditionally, riders went into the Tour a kilo or two overweight (relatively speaking) on the basis that they'd lose it over the three weeks. If Wiggins loses any more he'll slip between the seat cushions in the Garmin bus. I thought he looked painfully thin at the TT start, even by "racing-snake" standards

    This picture was taken at this year's Paris-Roubaix. Is he even thinner than this?

    IMHO he looks ill! If taking drugs is wrong then so should being what looks like being way underweight! I stand corrected if his weight is considered to be within 'safe' limits!!

    I know where that 7 kgs went, I think I picked it up.

    Must be a virus or something :-)
