Hills of Death (HOD) Jun 2013 11:13pm, 2 Jun 2013 28,751 posts	0 Hills of Death (HOD) Are you trying to say Wiggo is punching above his weight PL
The Pilotlight Jun 2013 9:30am, 3 Jun 2013 6,082 posts	0 The Pilotlight in cycling terms yes, although his weight has been a problem this year. still a great rider, even greater to think probably the first track rider to win the tour, as opposed to Merckx who rode the track, but was a roadie.
The Terminator Jun 2013 10:41am, 3 Jun 2013 7,076 posts	0 The Terminator Could he not go back to the track? I know it still takes a huge amount of work but he could be closer to his family? Incredible what he has done whatever happens next, just don't want to see him limping on as part of the pack, rather he did retire.
JohnnyO Jun 2013 10:43am, 3 Jun 2013 16,361 posts	0 JohnnyO I read an interview where he said he would like to finish his career on the track in Beijing.
The Pilotlight Jun 2013 12:15pm, 3 Jun 2013 6,084 posts	0 The Pilotlight why would he? done it all, he's 33 and been around a long time. I suspect worlds TT maybe a target.
The Terminator Jun 2013 1:08pm, 3 Jun 2013 7,077 posts	0 The Terminator I'm sure he said, albeit inthe euphoria of the Olympics TT, that he wanted to continue to Rio?
hammerite Jun 2013 1:09pm, 3 Jun 2013 18,641 posts	0 hammerite Rio Johnny? If he can get his sh!t together this years Worlds course looks like it could suit. But the Martin/Cancellara on form are almost unstoppable on similar courses. I have a suspicion he may retire, although he may also just be having an off year, like Evans did last year after winning the Tour.
Velociraptor Jun 2013 1:19pm, 3 Jun 2013 25,611 posts	0 Velociraptor I find it quite reassuring that Sir Wiggo is a bit burned out at the moment after having had to put in so much work, and maintain such an artificially low weight, to achieve what he did last year. I wouldn't like to bet real money on whether he'll bounce back next season or whether he'll say, "Sod it, I'm set up for life, I don't need to do this to myself any more," and retire.
Dai Bank Jun 2013 3:34pm, 3 Jun 2013 3,545 posts	0 Dai Bank cyclingnews.com cyclingnews.com Can't remember which thread we posted it but between PL and me I think we forecasted both of these some weeks,maybe even some months ago. On here as I found this threadfirst. Oh and Santambrogio positive for EPO, Vini Fantini strike again, idiots.
paul the builder Jun 2013 3:43pm, 3 Jun 2013 3,641 posts	0 paul the builder Aother stage win for Nibali, then? Perhaps those guys who win massive bunch sprints for 2nd place on a stage aren't that daft after all.
