Pearl Ram Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I can't take to him for some reason, I respect his achievements and all that but I can't help think he's a bit too full of himself. Fair play to him if he breaks the record mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelTheRam Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Average speed at 40min in is 34.938 and it hasn't varied by more than 0.005mph for many laps.I know what you mean EHR - can seem a bit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Slowing a tiny bit now, with 10 minutes to go, but it still looks as though he's going to smash it by around a kilometre.Phenomenal athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano180 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Set up, no other individual will get the support he has received to achieve this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Set up, no other individual will get the support he has received to achieve this The reason he gets the support is because of the amazing talent he has got, which then attracts support, sponsorship and so on. Same with Mo Farah - what a huge amount of support that guy gets too. And don't get me started on Andy Murray - pah!. Anyone could have achieved what he has given the same support and privileged start in life. Seb Coe - privileged toff, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Same with Stephen Redgrave. Undeserving, the lot of them. Never have achieved anything if they'd have been forced to go down t'pit. Sorry Deano, I think I disagree with you.

He wouldn't even get to the semi finals on BGT if all he did was cycle in a circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly just had to look up what 'BGT' stands for. That reflects more badly on you than it does on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Bugger!Thought you were backing me to the hilt on this one, i was convinced you were Eddie the eagle? Sorry. I'm a few years older than that Eddie.I haven't many sporting heroes, but Sir Bradley is right up there alongside Daley Thompson and Cloughie (Sir Bradley is proper working-class, no privileged upbringing, brought up by his mum while his dad walked out on them when he was just two, had to live with his gran, dirt poor etc etc).

MuespachRam Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The word legend gets thrown around far too much in sport.....but Wiggins IS a legend. Awesome athlete, one of the best cyclists ever. But hey, let's get on his back because he is confident in his ability and has a bit of character.....And a bland loser like Henman or a fun loser like Bruno adored by everyone..!

Anag Ram Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Brilliant stuff from Bradley but possibly the dullest World record to watch. Watching someone whizz round and round the same track over and over again. About as exciting as Formula One! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
