We’d like to say thanks for this support and offer free SiS gels to entrants, as used by Team Wiggins.”

How the promotion works:

Picked up 2 packs of their caffeine gels for £10 to get the free postage, so 26 gels for a tenner. Not bad.

Used 4 email addresses, so 48 gels for £15.96 even better!  3

Just got my code- the e-mail also says they've reduced the minimum spend for free delivery down to £10 as well so may even buy a few bits to make it more worth my while (their tactic worked)

I don't dislike Wiggy, but I'm hoping the record stays with Dowsett.

No need to be disingenuous, spit it out.

What? The gels? Probably...if I entered the "free" competition.

You'll have to shell out at least £7.98. That's the cheapest water bottle plus delivery to get your "free" gels  24

@Gkam84. What's your point? They're still free.

It's a buy-one-get-one-free-website-mailorder-provide-all-your-details sort of deal. No such thing as a free (gel lunch)

I take it you have to buy from SIS to get you free gels or have I misread ? Not really free if you have to spend money to get them

I think it was reported on here, but it may have been elsewhere, that a beard makes no difference apparently. I really don't understand the science, though.

He must be sceptical of the science, because it's gone!

He was made to shave the beard in case he hid energy gels in it...

Is he going to get rid of the fur on his chin, for the hour record attempt? That chin must be at least one leg's worth? I assume he's still shaving his legs?

It's energy gel, not shaving gel. Although he seems to have got some in his hair.
