Wiggins made it clear he has reflected on the episode since his initial, angry reaction. “I don’t think Chris was trying to attack me to drop me and win the Tour in 2012,” he said. “He was thinking he needed to secure his second place and he wasn’t as confident in his time-trialling as he is now. There is so much stress and pressure in this race that you’re on edge. I didn’t realise some of that until after.” </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/jul/21/bradley-wiggins-jiffy-bag" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/jul/21/bradley-wiggins-jiffy-bag</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287250 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 20:17:38 +0000 gembo 287250@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dumplings Dimples Desperate Dan Dumoulin riding for Geraint </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287246 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 19:50:01 +0000 chdot 287246@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287202 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 07:39:07 +0000 gembo 287202@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@hankchief, would have been brilliant if it was Millar that cav smashed into after the finish line </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287200 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 23:31:08 +0000 minus six 287200@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>on second thoughts, its all about whether or not movistar can neutralise luke rowe early doors, which they probably can't do successfully without help from the peleton</p> <p>so its probably a barnstorming froome victory tomorrow as everyone expects</p> <p>as you were </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287197 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 23:07:16 +0000 minus six 287197@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>nice one </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287195 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 22:31:36 +0000 HankChief 287195@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://chpt3.com/blogs/journal/well-done-mark" rel="nofollow">https://chpt3.com/blogs/journal/well-done-mark</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287194 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 22:27:55 +0000 minus six 287194@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>maybe but they left valverde hanging out in the breeze while marking froome</p> <p>understandable but they must step up tomorrow </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287193 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 21:48:59 +0000 gembo 287193@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mebbes but Movistar put shift in today and got nothing </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287192 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 21:14:21 +0000 minus six 287192@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>few mountaintop finishes on this tour, first was today and only three to go, tomorrow is indeed key</p> <p>movistar i expect to make a move, they are potentially the strongest team tomorrow if they work together </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18971#post-287191 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 21:05:19 +0000 gembo 287191@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Boardman saying if the Welshman is over a minute ahead he may be allowed to lead.
