Does anybody know how much time did Quaade lose because of his fall? Let alone decrease in performance, just time between crashing and getting back on bike.
Impressive ride by Wiggo, turns out that high expectations from his team were not unrealistic.
Quaade lost approximately 30 seconds, BUT he lost other time with that wound, did you see the pics? Such a big hack!
I have seen the crash pictures, but it's almost impossible to measure such time losses and then I was just curious of time lost directly in crash? Losing only 2:16 with such a crash in the beginning is still great, wonder if he could repeat last year's result otherwise.

Usual satellite delay here...
Great way for Wiggins to go out at the Worlds. Will be interesting to see whether he can improve on finishing with the likes of Cancellara, Boonen and Vanmarke at P-R next year before his road retirement.
Appreciate I'm in the minority and why that's the case but I'm going to miss his combination of grumpy/shy/emotionally repressed  |

Sorry but he is a w*nker, straight and true. He's worse than Oasis, and that dear sir is a pure god given skill

It's a bit like the way I feel about Cavendish really - I wouldn't like to be either of their best mates (I'm sure the feeling is mutual  ) but I do find watching them entertaining 
On another note, Machado is looking like an increasingly strong signing for Katusha. |

I don't get any of the hate on Wiggins in this forum.
He always comes across as a very nice, humble, smart, very ambitious sportsman who has huge respect for his opponents.
Just look at how Tony Martin and him have huge respect for one another and the other's achievements.
On the other hand I totally understand anyone who doesn't like Cavendish, because he comes across as a very dull, stupid person. |

I have to admit I liked Dombrowski, then he went to Sky and I held disgust for him. Now he's the coolest rider int eh entire world.

First medal for Italy as Sofia Bertizzolo wins the silver medal only behind the Danish Amalie Dideriksen.
Now wait for U23 race! Probably another medal for Denmark incoming.

Yeah. Just tuned in. No idea about the race, but hey - how Kudus just bridged that gap, quite fantastic by him.

Can't think of a word that is less accurate in describing Wiggins
