Bradley Wiggins Reacts to Chris Froome's "Trust" Comments | The Bradley Wiggins Show | Eurosport

[@msemmahale4608]

Much respect to Wiggins for his response to Froome’s comments about the Vuelta. He doesn’t bad mouth Froome, gives some explanation about the inside story, and accepts responsibility for his shortcomings - Very classy. Chapeau!

[@mickoholland1]

The Dave Brailsford impression was perfect. That should be put to use in a prank phone call.

[@ianlawrence4256]

That's the very first thing I thought!

[@samuellambert8919]

exactyl surreal!! haha

[@stevewilson1544]

Extremely humble response from Wiggins, taking accountability where others probably wouldnt.

[@Ewane]

I think this is a comment which has been blown out of hand, I'm pretty sure everyone would think the same way Froome did.

[@brianmessemer2973]

When I heard the Froome Rosberg interview, I read that comment simply as “if Wiggins physically cracks, I have to be right there because I know I can finish strong.” I mean, who in his position wouldn’t think that? But as Sir Bradley says here, there’s always going to be that insecurity in bike racing. About Froome, it’s human nature to interpret your own memories differently later in life. It is much easier to make that comment since he won 4 tours. He’d have never made such a statement without his record of dominance after that time.

[@johnbouttell5827]

Well done Sir Brad. We appreciate your honesty.

[@cypriano8763]

he is the weakest tour winner in recent memory, i hate to see guys win the tour when they are not on the top climbers. Dumoulin, Indurian, Evans are way better climbers than brad ever was. i remember watching that tour that year and feeling like he almost stole it and did not deserve to win it.

[@ProfessorSteez]

Cypriano People like Dumoulin are great climbers now because Sky/Wiggins pushes the competition and training protocol to that level. Dumoulin was a TT specialist until he saw Wiggins can win a GC

[@twright1983]

Cypriano Dumoulin really ?

[@krisbowditch827]

Fair play to Brad, got more respect for him now with his comments.. very dignified reaction... it’s still a dog eat dog world( like life lol) chapeau brad class

[@mornenaude2885]

Class act. The more I listen to Brad the more I like him

[@jordywilliams]

Wiggins has become less Liam and more Noel

[@rossbennett2744]

Wiggins cost froome that veulta... Wiggins often cracked.. his whole team would've been aware of it. Froome would've won the 2012 tour too, he gifted that to wiggins. Look wiggins was great, but not on froomes level and wiggins was too entitled and stubborn to accept it.

[@samuellambert8919]

very much real talk ffrom Brad (again) and perfect example from just recently of that indeed was Gilbert & Lampaert in paris roubaix.

[@robinhawes8843]

What the hell ever happened to Cobo?

[@Whateverworksism]

He has been banned for doping (13 June 2019) and his 2011 Vuelta victory has been awarded to Froome. Hell, I remember almost having an uneasy Chris Horner-esque feeling (not saying Horner was doped but I certainly remember asking the question when he won over the age of 40), seeing the completely unknown Cobo go nuts .... but now - almost a decade later - we learn he was doped up.

[@carlobalzer3238]

Chris and Bradley's are good friends 🤔🙄

[@fireblade2681]

na, they don't like each other. Haven't talked to each other since 2012.

[@د_محمد_شاهين]

oh wow... that is counter fire.

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

Always the gentleman Brad, that's why I like you and not Chris Froome. He just keeps slinging mud and you keep just acting like the bigger man. Well done.

[@leedorney]

I watched that, and reckon most in the moment would think the same was YET its like BW says..he had 'probs'..so its straight....

[@braindrain8922]

Wiggins is popular in the pro ranks to this day , Froome isn't..

[@jamesd5241]

Froome very well respected by all pro's

Chris Froome is too South African for the British and not South African enough for the South Africans,he grew up at st Johns he cut his teeth on his first few races at the Giro Del Capo

[@fireblade2681]

Chris Froome is British enough for me, although I'm Scottish, not british.

[@curiousji1]

the “sir bradley” correction was knobbish, everything else was interesting insight

[@fireblade2681]

It was a joke btw ;)

[@martinhumphreys2578]

This coming from someone who was lucky to win the TDF once sounds kind of defensive ...compared to someone who has won many majors. Know who I would put my money on.

[@ProfessorSteez]

Do you even understand the story? Froome was riding support in 2012 for Wiggins, he didn’t trust Wiggins to win but he did. Not sure why it matters that Froome won more after the fact?

[@twright1983]

Wiggins was huge favourite on that course 1 prologue and 2 long flat time trials and only 3 summit finishes of which la planche de belles filles was the only really tough one , the route could barely have been better for wiggins Froome would have really struggled to beat him even if he rode for himself on that tour

[@alexsington]

He sounds so defensive and salty

[@willbick7889]

No he doesn't. He sounds like he's being honest and pretty charitable about a difficult and complex personal situation

[@alexsington]

@@willbick7889 I think Froome has a legitimate point too. Sure, Wiggins won a few small races leading up to that TDF, but never anything big. Froome might have been the stronger of the two in the Tour also. Froome just wasn't given the freedom to ride away by the team

[@cipher.u.justice]

lol paris-nice, romandie, and dauphine are "a few small races?" name the last person to bag all three in the same year... it's Bradley Wiggins. Had he never won the Tour or any Olympic golds, just doing that would have made a pro cyclists' career. Froome had every chance to win leadership in both TTs, but Wiggins put 1'51 into him.

[@alexsington]

@@cipher.u.justice Froome had to wait for Wiggins in the mountains in the 3rd week. He could have ridden away easily

[@neilwooldridge8692]

Cortisone kid😂

Why do they give a drug cheat so much air time?

Why is he a drug cheat ?

TUE'"S and "I never injected a thing" might give a clue. Then of course the Jiffy bags and lost Dr's records
