I think Bradley Wiggins is:

1. An exceptional cyclist who, under constant pressure from the media, fans, etc, can be a bit touchy from time to time. Generally though, he seems like a likeable fellow.

2. An exceptional cyclist who is a big fat prick. He may be an elite athlete with more talent in his little finger than I'll ever have, but that is no excuse for treating people rudely and comporting yourself with no humility or grace.

Watching Wiggo over the past month with extensive coverage of the Tour de France and now the Olympics, what do you think of him?

Before the third week of the Tour I was pretty firmly in the Wot a Wanker camp. But I've since changed my mind.

Relevant (and worth listening to before voting): http://www.steephill.tv/players/720/sou ... 00&yr=2012

Also relevant (from the Brit press, who don't usually "do" adulation!): http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/au ... d-reaction

Finally: calling him a big fat anything is probably inaccurate. :wink:

In addition to his cycling skill, he's also has great taste in clothing and music. C'mon, this IS the General Banter corner, no? :wink:

One thing Wiggo has going for him is some serious sideburns action. Plus drinking. Both very British traits, eh?
One pundit suggested changing the official name of sideburns to Wiggins. As in "check out the wiggins on that dude!"

Next kit order can we get stick-on sideburns? Maybe in TS colours? (Oh wait- that's over the top...)

Except that he's a big fat prick.
