Not content with walking away with the night's big prize, Saint Bradley of Wiggins wasn't about to call it a night after the SPOTY cameras went off. It was back to the after-show party and time for a cameo on stage with the Rick Parfitt Junior Band, bashing out a decent ryhthm guitar line to Oasis' Wonderwall. Probably he'd have preferred something from The Jam back catalogue, but Wiggo knows how to play a crowd. And the chords are easier…
WiggoWall – Bradley joins the house band for the SPOTY after-show party
Is there no end to the man’s talents?

@chrisonabike Will you two please stop panda-ing to one another?

@kingleo They're only imposing the 18+ age limit, raised from 16, on escooters, not legal ebikes. There is no minimum age for riding an EPAC in Ireland.

I thought it was all about the gear ratios?

@chrisonabike These are polarising issues - anyone attending would have known there was trouble bruin.

@VIPcyclist Yes, the live coverage on S4C was a few stages at the beginning and a few at the end. Shame it wasn’t the whole lot. Stage 19 was particularly good live. Setting the record for the fastest time up the Alpe. He went a bit faster than I did a few years ago 😮. Amazing watching Pogačar hit the bottom of the hill with the breakaway over 3min ahead of him. S4C is available to watch again on the BBC iPlayer if you want to rewatch. The adverts seem to be stripped out too 👍🏻. S4C are looking forward to next year when some stages are here at home in Cymru 🙂. Non-welsh speakers can just watch the video I guess. I like it in my own language, but the iOS app ‘Tour Tracker’ is very very good too, especially for time trials. It’s also more ‘live’ than the live video. So, if it announces some sort of incident you can focus on the live feed to wait for it! (Cymraeg is one of the British Isles oldest living languages BTW.)

I paid for my month, first week off work so I wanted proper full day coverage. Enjoyed it, nice to be able to pause live coverage, but then they make you watch the adverts when trying to catch up. Channel 5 for when I was working, alright, less chat. Seemed to use the tnt virtual studio. Already cancelled, of course, but will be catching the TdF femmes until I'm booted off. Even though I could watch the commenwealth games I haven't, I hope the games have done well securing the rights because their viewing figures will be right down, such coverage benefits being on the BBC.

A goat has a carbon fibre fuselage, Pratt and Witney jet engines, hydraulic retractable undercarriage and in flight movie screens, but that doesn't make it a Boeing Dreamliner.

If you come to road.cc only to read road bike articles, why do you keep clicking through to the other ones? Seems a bit daft

It's not the riders, it's not the equipment, it's not the clothing, it's not the nutrition, it's not the training. All those factors together probably allow for no more than 10% of the total improvement. Hmm, I wonder what the rest could be? It must be the tires ;-)

Just as well that he got a headstart on the rest of the squad and put in an 11 day/ 7 hours per day training block in Mallorca just before Sunday, then 😉
Dont think we need to worry too much about Bradders work ethic. When he’s on, he’s seriously on.

There’s a longer and worse shot video here where he plays a Jam song first. Looking at the pic of him after, well I can’t play the guitar when I’m that mashed. But then my time trialling is pretty lacklustre too.
