Wonder how much access they will give? Might even get to see how Sky made Froome "Zoom"

A year in yellow? As far as I can see he has only been in yellow for a few months.

Brailsford comes across as a right weirdo

To be fair, if you add up the combined total of days he spent wearing a yellow jersey he has 34. (Tour de France, Romandie, Paris-Nice, Dauphine)

You'd probably have to go back to Merckx to beat that.

Very entertaining by virtue of the searing honesty & genuine humility of Wiggins.Much recommended

Wouldn't of been a fan of his but I enjoyed this.

Just watching it on Sky Atlantic now. Did anyone else think that Sean Yates came across like a complete condescending pr*ck?! Taking a real dislike to the guy....

And Wiggins just a genuine nice bloke

It was on sky anytime the other day, might still be there for anybody that missed it.

Watching on sky+ now. Was that a signed photo of Sean Kelly on the wall of his training shed?

Yeah and Sean spelt his name wrong haha Bradly !!

See he was averaging 441 watts over a 30 mins test. ridiculous

mossym

watched this yesterday while doing a turbo session, have to say it was a great motivator to push that little bit harder

Watched it yesterday, and I must say I'm a bit confused.

Could someone clarify if kids from Kilburn are supposed to win the Tour, or not?

Yes but only if you've an Australian father and were born in Belgium.

..and have a British pace setter, born in Kenya!

Seriously thought my opinion of Brad has somewhat changed from watching it. I thought he came across quite well. I also now have a huge like for Shane Sutton, he was fantastic. The almost nonchalant way that he described Bradley's fathers death had me bursting out laughing: "well, i'd heard that he got a bit of a kickin!"

i did it. 441 watts for 30 minutes. roughly 15w/min, so 441 total...not sure why he was blowing about it. i pt in my application for the tour this morning, told them i was in better condition than wiggins.

agreed, the only issue i had was with he attitude in the school. for whatever any sports star has to put up with in terms of fans and press, the impact someone like that can have on kids that age goes beyond anything else, it's huge, and i thought he seemed totally disinterested, slouched on the chair and smirked at everything they tried to do for him. Was the only part where i thought he was a bit of a pr&*k. rest of it i really sided with him

I'd have to disagree Mossym, while he did not exactly give an inspirational talk or strike up much of a rapport with the kids I think it was more down to his reserved/shy personality than him being rude. You could see he was uncomfortable in that situation, he's not a natural speaker or motivator and as he says he lets his cycling do the talking.

that might have been it, i could be doing him wrong. he did say between the TdF and the olympics he didn't care about doing it for lord coe but wanted to do it for the people, which i had a lot of respect for

maybe i was reading his body language the wrong way, it was the one part i was unimpressed with though, whatever the reason.

I think he was shy/nervous as well.It was his kids school after all! I had to give a talk myself to my kids school and it is not easy at all.
