Yeah, I put on full shoe covers well before most of that stuff Wiggo has on. Maybe he misplaced them.

Wiggins confirmed for the Giro

Sky want Tiernan-Locke to shed around 9 kilos

[Routier]

It seems as though it's a misquote or something and that's actually the amount he's already lost.

He would need to break his collarbone to shed some upper body weight

Pre sky he was riding loads around bristol and i saw him quite a few times, short of cutting his arms off i dont know where hes lost 9 kg from!

Also that rear mudguard of wiggos is truly hilarious

Did anyone catch "Bradley Wiggins - A Year In Yellow" on Sky Atlantic?

It always puzzles me how some riders, especially pros, manage to keep their toes warm when their other kit seems to suggest quite chilly conditions.
I know there are several inner booties and super-merino-wool socks or whatever, but they have never been sufficient in my case.

Ziplock plastic sandwich bags over your socks - the small kind that just cover half your foot.. I swear work great. I always had problems with cold toes since I moved from So Cal to Bend Oregon in 2005. When I raced a lot in the 90s I remembered a few of my buddies who traveled to Europe told me they used them so I said "why not" and it worked

Assos fuguSpeer socks on Wiggo's feet perhaps?

Will be a different rider if he loses that much, won't win classics

Astana will use CAMPAGNOLO EPS groups in 2013

It maybe the angle of the photo but Wiggo looks like he has put some weight on .

Of course he has.

It's winter after all, he would become crazy otherwise.

I like that. Wonder if they will use Spesh or Campa cranks.

Yep, you can't ride a TDF every day. He has to be the skinniest winner on record. Maintaining that weight would probably make him very sick.
