    I'm sure if Wiggins had won in a similar manner, the headline would have been just as good. Why doe being a fan of a particular rider always have to be such a negative things ? We've all got our heroes, Contador isn't one of mine, but I can understand why he is lots of people's.

    I was not taking a swipe at fans of particular teams or riders, that is a positive thing. I was using the term fanboy as a term for one eyed supporters who idolize a rider, at the cost of ignoring any obvious flaws, and also feel that support is not enough without having to denigrate another rider or team at the same time.
    Children do this because they know no better, in an adult it is indefensible. :wink:

    Not to mention "God Save Bradley Wiggins". Though now I think of it that might not have been l'equipe.

    Maybe that was a plea in a Murdoch owned rag in May 2013?

    Shame that, he's always good value in the gallop up the Muur in FW.

    He does have a lot to say but unfortunately none of it interesting.

    He says there's nothing to see regarding a bloke he then says he knows nothing about, and also that there's no point getting uppity about any past doping (which is a nice comfy angle for him as Contador has doped).

    It's all just pointless blurb with a bit of Contador ass-kissing really.

    They've never been seen in the same room.

    At best, they have the same personality issues.

    It does make me laugh, singling out those who have been caught, when we all know in our heart of hearts that those who haven't doped are a small minority.

    You may think that, but more experienced observers than you don't. You're just a newcomer trying to pass off cynicism as wisdom

    Today is the 10th anniversary of the accident that changed my vision on life. I didn't know if I could ride back a bike and...

    10 years and seasons later I've celebrated the date with 6h training. Where there's a will, there is a way!!!

    Big respect for him for overcoming that awful incident and creating memories to last a lifetime on his way to being the best stage race rider of his generation.

    Well it gave me a wee chuckle.

    Not a belly laugh, not a guffaw, not even a LOL

    But something above a wee smile.

    Having a little coffee in the middle of training. How good it's after 3 intense hours
