By the looks of that last shot, Tony Martin could catch Froome

Wiggins looks good for gold at 3/4 mark (22 secs clear), froom battling for Bronze

1st and 3rd, and totally dominant from wiggo, made it look far too easy in winning that.  A fit cancellera and martin might have made it interesting I guess, but that's was still mightily impressive.

It's a bit cruel to make him cycle back!

Meh. I'll be impressed when he can do it on a Chopper.


In reality, well done Wiggins and Froome.

It's not a sport I really follow, but seeing events like this now, and the Tour de France, it is just awe inspiring what a physical test cycling can be.
