There are a few things we don’t do in cycling, socialise with triathletes, attack while fellow riders that are on a “nature” break, and commit offences of bike cruelty.
Do one of these, and you will severely displease the Gods of cycling.
Bradley Wiggins has done just that with his ungrateful treatment of his glorious Pinarellos, firstly with the infamous “bike park” at the Giro D’Trentino and more recently in the time trial at the Giro.

Now the Gods are making him pay the price for his reckless actions by removing his ability to ride a bike.
The Gods handed down their first punishment on the wet slippery roads to Pescara as his bike handling skills abandoned and he was forced to meander like a novice even hitting the deck.
After his second offence of bike cruelty in the time trial the Gods decided not to give Wiggins any respite and once again when the rain came down on route to Florence he was left by the peleton to warily forego the drenched Italian roads.
If Wiggins doesn’t lift his game and stop committing these horrendous crimes this will surely continue for evermore.
So Sir Wiggins its time to lift your game and started acting like a real champion setting a good example for the kids that look up to and maybe then the Gods may forgive you!
If you do decide to spit the dummy again do it properly!
