If it had been USA he would have been branded a genuis for building his own homemade bike...and still beating the crap outta Cboardman, who it seems had a lot more funds.
On the downside though, if Obree and Boardman were so damn good why didn't they win the Tour?.
Aka bradley wiggins another has-been, sorry but it annoys me these british are so damn good yet they never win the tour.
I know people are going to say it's pollitics & drugs etc.
I'm sure Mr wiggins is damn well funded with sky though

That's a bit like asking why Ussain Bolt has never won the 100m - Marathon double Gold. Boardman of course did transfer to the road with some success but apart from a good showing in Dauphiné Liberé one year his palmares were stictly against the clock (i.e. time trials).

Wiggins is another matter. Has been he is not. Tour contender? We'll find out...
i'd personally put this down to him possibly getting more acclaim from the public with olympic track sucess than he would feasibly manage in the tour.David B":2qc0q5ke said:[Interestingly this has coincided with him rejoining the GB track squad for the Olympic build-up - I wonder if their training regime suits him better? After all, his TdF 4th place in 2009 came partly on the back of an incredibly successful track campaign under the wing of Brailsford & co.
