2012 Pro-cycling season thread

I did feel a little uncomfortable when those puff piece articles with Wiggins came out a couple of weeks back, because they followed 'the secret to my unbelievable form is ' formula.

As when Novak Djokovic came out with an explanation for his sudden imperiousness of a gluten free diet and spending time in his pressurised egg. No doubt that was what allowed him to compete with an allegedly chemically enhanced Spaniard.

The single most performance enhancing move I've made as a cyclist was to switch to a gluten free diet. I went from being at the back of the group I rode with, to dropping them all on every climb within a matter of weeks.
