'While Wiggins has been completing 200km rides in Majorca, Birdsall will take his new bike out for its first spin for an hour or two this evening near his home in Rotherham.'

– Bradley Wiggins vs Andy Birdsall: Wiggo’s minute man prepares for time trial of his life

"Wiggins made the catch before the starter had let go of his minute man... "

Wiggo's whip. Bit aesthetically challenging, but he's earned every colour on it..

^mechanical...?

wold have thought shimano would throw so 'lectric at him...

oh just realised it's SRAM...

The stock Bolide was almost passable but pretty much all of their bikes are hideous and that's coming from someone well aware of the Shiv's looks.

Yeah, don't think white is a good choice and those Zipp WC wheels have always looked a bit wank.

Front isn't too shocking, rear should really have been Team Wiggo roundel, not rainbow strips on white.

So true!

First TT of the year Gravesend CC 10 twenty six riders I was number twenty six, very windy to the turn an abysmal 26:26
It was also the first try of my Geoff Roberts in TT mode on 88" fixed, tweaked the saddle up higher since then for another go next Tuesday.

I'm off work the Tuesday after (26th), maybe see you there?

Got Tops off a minute after me for the Hounslow. How long will I last?

3 miles.

Wiggins about 5 mins away from starting the City Road Club 10... Will he beat Dowsett's mark?

His minute man has put a Go Pro on his saddle so seeing the pass will be interesting

@dubtap are you there? Or are the pics from twitter? TTF seems to be struggling under the anticipation. 200 people reading the thread when I last looked and now it won't refresh.

Twitter

Twitter saying he missed it, 17:58

reports of 17:58?

17:58

Not even a PB :-)

Interesting to see he's ditched the Kask now he's stopped riding for Team Sky.

I have no idea what it is tho.

His UKSI helmet from 2012 Olympics

34.9 mph average for 9 miles. 23.8 for the last mile. Monster headwind in the last mile I assume

Nah, he's just shit at TTs, paced it badly and cracked. ;)

Not even as quick as Hutchinson.

I'm glad I didn't buy a ticket for his hour attempt.
