I feel desperately sorry for Cadel

Wiggins in full flow in a TT is a truly magnificent thing to watch

ETA - 53 secs faster than Froome at second checkpoint

Well, that ought to shut Chris Froome's girlfriend up, at any rate.

Meh, he knew what the risks would be.

Blimey scrub what i said about Wiggins cruising , hes got a rocket up his backside lo hes flying !

Wiggins 53 seconds faster.

Isn't this meant to be a contest?

Doesn't make it any less sad

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

That's the beauty of it. He makes it look so easy.

What did he have to gain by doing well today?
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?

Thanks to his track past, this sort of thing is just second nature to him now.

No, he wasn't but it must have been humiliating to have his much younger teammate sail past him like that.

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

No it can't, but out with the old in with the new as they say.
The Tour waits for no man.

1'15 ahead of Froome now.

All over!

Congratulations Bradley.

On that form he must be favourite for the Olympic TT?

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?

Fantastic isn't it?

Although it was over well before today.

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

Not very pc but funny

"Francois Hollande, can you hear me, Francois Hollande, your boys took a hell of a beating, your boys took a hell of a beating!"

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.

I wouldn't go writing Cancellara off just yet.

That is true..and he's had a break from the tour ofcourse to be with his wife and new baby.

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.
