Watched it live in the barbers: everyone was cheering Froome and Wiggins on. What a great year for (sport) cycling in the UK and for Bradley Wiggins in particular!
I predict Sir Wiggo come the New Year...

Well done, boys. Job done.
I feel sorry for Cancellera though.
Hopefully this means we get a bit more respect on the roads (#Iamabeliever)

I think I'm on an adrenaline come-down after watching that. Just fantastic.

Nah, we got 8 in one go in the rowing earlier on.

Well done to both.
Is it just me that was looking at the smooth and lovely road surface in stunned disbelief? Did they re-surface it specifically for the time trials or are "all" London roads like that?

Probably
"or are "all" London roads like that?"
No, but quite a few are - and a lot fewer badly filled in trenches.

London's roads are several orders of magnitude better than embruh's.

Is the Queen not looking wrong way? Don't think she should be looking at Mr Wiggin's bottom?

I was there! Out on the roads near Esher, watching. Didn't have much of a clue what was going on, mind you, though access to a start list helped. We got back to a big screen in time to see Wiggins finish and see the result and medal ceremony. Great atmosphere.

London roads have been kept tidy for the Olympics. Also weather much kinder than ours so not so much frost damage. When the roads were closed two Saturdays ago it was a joy to cycle on them, even when they re-opened traffic was very light
