Sir Brad

[pawl]

The doubters are on some sites are describing brad as a one hit wonder.Obviously they have forgotten what he has achieved in the past years last year was an outstanding one.All those detractors will be be describing him as the best thing since sliced bread when he wins major races in the future.

Everyone should give the guy a break, he's clearly ill, no way would even an 85% fit wiggo have got dropped on that stage yesterday.

Most doubters were writing of Evans as being past it, but look at him now.

 

[roadrash]

thats the problem , most of them are sat at computers slagging the guy off ,,, i wonder if any of them actually do any cycling

Does that include Wiggo, as he criticised himself for his poor descending, compared to his peers.

he's ill so we can work out why his climbing has suffered.

His descending was crap, so I'll be interested in seeing what he does to fix that - I suspect it hasnt been worked on in the same way as the rest of his game

Was his descending crap compared with yours? or somebody else.

GWS Brad !
Lets be honest even full of sniffle hes liable to beat 99 % of the population up or down dale.

And me.

And me.

Funny how everyone focuses on how cautious he was after his crash. I wonder how many of the critics jump straight back on when they crash?

compared to his previous performances and his competitors.
after his fall he was creeping round some of the turns.

I've no idea how well or otherwise I descend as I don't race, and m comment wasn't a dig at Brad, so stop trolling

Nibali did, amongst others, which is the point when you're a pro. Comparing weekend warriors and mamils is missing the point a little.

I don't think so.

I crash a lot. Sometimes I hop back on and sometimes I can't even stand up. How do you know how Wiggins landed?

 

[rich p]

Cycling is full of stories of riders who leap back on with injuries a lot worse than Brad's. Hamilton and the collar bone, Johnny Hoogerland, Boardman and the broken ankle etc. Wiggins lost his bottle - he admitted himself that it wasn't injury that caused his diffidence.

 

[VamP]

If you say so.
