I took this blurred photo of Wiggo in the start pits at Barcelona (yes, he was THAT fast even in the pits!) and said to my beloved just how lean I thought he was looking. Little did I know that on the very same day to Arcalis he would start to make himself a podium contender. For the next 10 days the feeling that he could 'do it' got stronger and stronger going from 'a top 20 would be good' through to 'Britain's got a top 10 rider' ending up at 'Fucking hell! He's going to get second!' Sadly today the head took over from the heart as the reality hit home hard that he still has some way to go before he climbs like a Schleck. I'm desperately trying not to be disappointed (especially as brother A is my skinny soulmate) but boy is it hard. Top 10 is still a superb result, it is, it really, really is.
Wiggo absolute legend until.... yeah thats right BLACK socks!!!! Take a leaf out of Thors book... how cool does he look in green with the green flashes on the Cervelo and Zipp decals and what a ride into the mountains including great bike handling on a descent in the wet.

ReplyDeleteFairer skinned people need to wear black socks to differentiate where there legs end and their feet begin
