At the ends, who gets paid what and how much depends on what was written in the contracts of the riders and which position they held in the team, whether they followed the instructions from the DS etc. I cannot know but I bet that in Frommie's contract stated that Wiggo was team captain, as such he was paid for his contribution, so much so that he became the team leader for years to come. So don't feel too sorry for Froome.

I met him when he was giving prizes at the ToB in Cardiff, just after his road career ended. He was only allowed a few seconds away from his official duties, and the only fan photo he had time for was with my young son, who was a keen cyclist. He stopped the officials from ushering him away to allow us to take the shot. I managed to say thanks, you’re a gentleman, and a legend. He was a little shy, humble, and a bit overwhelmed by all the people around him, but he smiled at me and said, no problem. That’s all the conversation we needed, I didn’t want to intrude any more, but he understood the encouragement it would give to my son, so made an effort. A true cyclist, almost like a fan who found himself on a podium somehow. I hope he picks himself up from here, he’s unique and has done amazing things, even if he’s hard on himself, he put British cycling on the map, people should have some empathy and compassion.

Maybe you should look up the effects of kenalog. I've taken it plenty and at no point have I won the TDF. It could be used to cut weight in the off season (which wasn't illegal at the time) but even then that would be a little dangerous because you're just as likely to cut muscle. Using it in competition for that purpose would be potty. The only competitive benefit that it could possibly give you is that it might reduce soreness, it won't give a rider a single Watt more power and has a decent chance of actually reducing your power/endurance. People like David Millar who said was an effective doping agent were taking it as part of a "balanced diet" of anabolic steroids and EPO or other blood doping, these countered the side effects of kenalog and has the tangible benefits of improving muscle mass and aerobic capacity. All those things were made ineffective (you can still do them but not to the degree that they make much of an effect, this may be why rider performance is equalising) by the biological passport. The idea that Sky were US postal MK 2 is also for the birds. The argument is that a bunch of riders who pointedly didn't win when doping was very effective pre 2008 (suggesting they were clean) suddenly became the most proficient dopers once doping became significantly more difficult doesn't make sense. Especially in a era of whistleblowing and social media.

Wtf? You missed out on the post cycling stories which is what I was expecting. There’s the hosting of commentary from the back of a moto; depth and detail he’s talked and explained about his mental health, imposter syndrome, depression, ultimately leading to the breaking of his marriage; there’s the recent financial crash of the Wiggo brand company and the legal woes that’ll entail. There’s so much more there that would have been important to discuss, especially the mental health topics on the climb down from the top of sporting success in an influencer world. Vicky Pendalton has discussed similar. Could have been done in a way of not digging dirt or accusations but of raising sports persons mental health pressures the mortals could identify with. This was a retrospective of his pro time, but fails at addressing “WTF happened to Brad Wiggins”

It's just like David Walsh copping so much flak when he hinted at Armstrong doping because everyone else around him had been caught doping. Admiration always over-rules common sense.

What happened to Wiggins? He was a world class track rider, transitioned to the track fairly late. ASO designed a course for him to win based on his TT talent because it would be good to bring British viewers into the sport. They didn't do another insanely TT heavy Tour again so Wiggins didn't win anymore. Ultimately Wiggins was a solid rider, but he was only a GC threat if he had a hard carry in the Mountains and an exceptionally large amount of relatively flat TT miles. He won the Tour, he won Olympic Golds and.. his motivation kind of died. He set his eyes on the hour record, which he took. And that was that. He wasn't that fussed and he didn't really like the massive media attention after the novelty wore off. Froome was more then capable of leading the team. I think people get a bit to het up about the whole rivalry thing between them. Wiggins in Yellow Leading out Cav to take that final stage of the 2012 tour will always be one of the most epic moments in Tour History though.

@@laszlozoltan5021 I get what you mean, but that's a fairy tale. In an ideal world, you would be right. The truth is, professional cycling is like any other professional sport: business first, sport second. It's a brutal enterprise where a lot of money plays a huge roles and contracts dictate what you can do and what you can't do. You sign a contract with the team knowing exactly the terms and conditions, the position you have, your obligations, etc. In 2012, whether you like or not, Wiggo was that team captain and Frommie was his domestique. Like I said in another thread here, not first time that a domestique is stronger, won't be the last time either.

Regardless of TUE's, jiffy bags and whether all that were true or false, it left a big skidmark on his legacy. I cannot imagine watching my former boss, Dave Brailsford, sitting squirming his way through that enquiry. Whether Bradley is clean or not is pretty irrelevant; that whole business burst a bubble, and left a lot of fans thinking the whole sport is riddled with lies.

First cycling celebrity in the UK? Are you having a laugh? Robert Millar (now Philippa York) became a household name following his King of the Mountains win. And a couple of decades later there was a time when both Boardman and Obree seemed to be permanently on television giving interviews as a result of their successes and their rivalry.

@@michaelskinner3067 2006, 2007 and a Giro winner as well and much more, and no hint of doping, a true Champion. Ps, elite cycle racing and chemical extras have been going on since racing began well over a century ago (cocaine, Amphetamine and much more) Lance Armstrong said you don’t win The Tour on water alone, personally I like Bradley Wiggins’s and hope the guy find a peaceful life. Marginal Gains, I believe does help to win races, what’s my point, Nicole Cooke was the real deal, she proved you could do it dope free. In the bigger picture of what’s going on in The World, it means probably nothing, But too me and some people, She was a True Champion Cyclist.

He may have been a legend in a bike but his business were a mess. Looking over his companies now in liquidation it's a real mess. With a huge directors loan. Reading the reports he stopped talking to the liquidators and now they are pursuing the directors loans. All feels like he is imploding I hope he can turn his life around so sad

You made me laugh with talk about SKY's "whole new approach, focused on marginal gains" which was the same old marginal gains approach from back-in-the-day - DOPE. A pity what's happened to the man now...he was great on the moto doing TV commentary...will he end up as the British equivalent of Freddy Maertens?

He says he didn't enjoy it and it's as if something is weighing heavily on his conscience. When the poo hit the fan after the Russians leaked his TUEs he used to win the Tour he did say at one point that he might rock the boat at Sky as if he had something to expose. It may still happen the way things are going

Arrogance on the guy is unbelievable. Reckoned he was going to start from zero and walk onto GB Rowing team in 4 years. Turns out rowing is a lot harder than it looks. Competed at a single indoor rowing championships. Messed up his start and performed badly. Quit. Then blamed the sport for his lack of progress and shat all over the club that bent over backwards to accommodate him.
