    "Done and dusted" according to his Twitter.

    Apparently this Wiggins-speak translates as "I won, yay for me".

    Apologies, had a bit of a patriotic moment there.

    A nice win given Wiggin's family history; he seems to be doing a decent enough job of keeping the team on side for the remainder of his contract.

    What is it about over-achievers and messy paternal relationships? According to Paxman, of the 51 British prime ministers from Walpole to Blair, 24 lost their fathers before they were 21.

    He is a bit of a grumpy moany git. I know its cool and all to like him (and I sort of do), but could he not stop moaning. His twitter feed is quiet simply a moanfest.

    I must say if I was Chris Sutton, I'd have felt a bit hard done by.

    i like him. I think he cuts through a lot of the bullshìt in cycling, and in sport in general. He's also probably about the best role model in professional cycling right now too.

    I don't know, he seems to have done well like overall, and wiggo was doing the lead out work for him, however the negative tactics from Garmin on the final stage left a bad taste, they should have put a man up the road, been aggressive and made the race rather than sitting on it..

    Good to see old Jan Kirispuu still mixing it up with the lads 5th on the final stage, I wonder was he doing his usual late night tricks ?

    Also credit to David Mc Cann as well, a good result for him..
