Some of the things Sir Bradley Wiggins might say to Andrew Marr about Grand Tour TUEs
I could have misjudged XIX Management’s strategy on this, but their game now is re-positioning Wiggins as a mainstream “inspirational” lifestyle brand. That’s why they’ve chosen Marr and not a sports outlet or journalist. So here’s some things that seem to me obvious lines that you’ll hear in the interview (which is a pre-record anyway): They were within a strict framework that all agencies…

Sometimes just finishing a race is a good result, even if you’re comfortably outside the points. Saturday’s 4th Cat Surrey League race at MOD Chertsey was one of those. It was a generally dull race – one club sent about … Continue reading
No shame in losing a race
With a typically cruel irony Tuesday’s race at Hillingdon was a disaster. Having written an article in praise of Malcolm Elliott’s Experience over youth, I (and the rest of the field in the fourth cats) got a proper kicking off … Continue reading
