Wiggins 53 seconds faster.
Isn't this meant to be a contest? |

Evans is just spent by the looks of it , he knew his tour was over sometime ago so that cant help either.

Doesn't make it any less sad
Nothing, as it was impossible for him to win the tour, so it was just a case of, just do your best for him, and his bedt certainly hasn't been anywhere near good enough. Yes it is not good to see a old champion struggle, but he was never going to win it this year anyway was he? |

What did he have to gain by doing well today?

BMC team manager breaking just about every law in the French Highway code there. Enough to get 5 people banned for life.

No, he wasn't but it must have been humiliating to have his much younger teammate sail past him like that.
The Tour waits for no man. |

I think Phil Liggett covered the mike there for a moment, and you could faintly hear him and Paul Sherwen celebrating deliriously
![]() [edit] a few seconds after the finish, after he says "just champagne on the streets of France". They seem to have a little private moment. |

So does Nibali, 6'19 down still think Wiggins is shit?

Tweet from Prince Charles," Well done, Bradley Wiggins. Conquering France is a national pastime."

I think the Olympic Time Trial start order is based on last year's World Champs, which means Cancellara starts third last, Wiggo would start second-to-last, and Tony Martin starts last. Obviously a pretty ideal situation for him, but a poor one for Chris Froome.

Wiggins will be working hard for Cav in the RR before the TT remember , wouldn't be suprised at all to see him do it though.
