The commentators were trying to build it up, but Wiggins looked so smooth and controlled throughout. Westra gave everything though.

No interview with Wiggo sadly.

we had one here rich, and he speaks pretty good French.

Well done Brad, it almost doesn't matter if we lose against France this afternoon now.

Great result.

Did he imply that he had it under control, rd?

Don't think so - he was very modest, but I didn't hang on every word as we've got guests and I'm now too pissed and happy to care.......

That was a great result. Wiggins has turned himself from a trackie into one of the sports top roadmen in a few short years.

Superb ride by Westra but I don't think the result was ever really in doubt, was it? Wiggo is definitely looking the part now.

I enjoyed that, despite the massive spoiler by Eurosport when I watched the replay of Tirreno-Adriatico first.
