Ode To Bradley Wiggins

[HalfMumHalfBiscuit]

Oh Wiggins, oh Bradley
I love you quite madley
You look tres sexee
In the yellow jersey
Vous etes tres bon
Avant le peloton
With your mates Cav and Froome
To Paris you'll zoom
Do your side burns help you steer?
When you win I will shed a tear.

Ok here's my effort.

Snug in their 'Stella's
Our fast riding fellas
All around London
Chasing the dream
The Aussi's are close
They are strong we know
Go Brad Go
Closer and closer
Pull together as one
Don't lose your courage
Run Cav run
Stop the clocks as Cav goes by
Don't lose heart lads
Fly team fly.

So chuffed to see Brad at the ceremony. Hope he is tucked up in bed now. Looking forward to seeing him tomorrow.
Good poem Mini.

Me too, HalfMum. Am looking forward to team GB coming in but am hoping not to see Wiggo and Cav - hope they're sleeping!

Where was the Cav preview? Been out all night and missed it so will need to track down on iplayer tomorrow :)

Sleep well boys-can't wait for tomorrow :)

It was before the ceremony started, but not too far before. Maybe around 8pm? The torch lighting was fab and no sign of the boys so hopefully they're getting some sleep :)

NOT LONG NOW!!!

Wiggo looks bored!

God I'm nervous! They're off at least. Go team GB, go boys go!

I really need to do some poetry or an ode don't I. I am terrible at that sort of thing.

There once was a cyclist called Bradley
Who had enormous sideburns quite sadly
He went to France for a race
Rode all over the place
Now every ones in love with him, madly.

love it tiggy

COME ON LADS!!!!!!

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get on here when I can. Good excuse to put my feet up and watch the cycling this afternoon with DS2 on my lap - it will be his first cycling event! I'm excited...

Thanks evilgiraffe :)

Watching the race and pretty nervouse this breakaway have too much time...the roads are so narrow it is favouring the breakaway.

I loved Bradley ringing the bell in the opening ceremony in his own inimitable fashion! He's so cool!

ON av., a peleton will make up 1 min every 10km on escapees. Which in theory means there isn't tooo much to worry about.
But the narrowness of the roads etc is a factor n'est-ce pas?

V true...will be interesting to see how box hill factors in.

Not seen the opening ceremony Yeats we were out last night-can't wait, sound amazing :)

We went down to The Mall this morning . Fab atmosphere! Team GB came by on my side I almost wet myself. Sagan very obligingly did a a warm up lap too- he looks a lot smaller when he's not wearing green!

Wish the beeb would show the time differences between the leaders and the peloton though!

I am at the church! Not enough reception for live video streaming - updates from you guys would be very welcome!

Stupid wedding, missing it all is killing me!

Well, 2 X groups of escapees, 11 in each - Wiggo etc staying cool atm.

Just switched it on. Are the GB boys in the peloton?

just noticed the MN logo, with torch. V good.

Think the Beebs coverage is rubbish! They should have watched the TDF on Eurosport/ITV4 to learn how to present it properly! Put the bl**dy times up...aaargh.
Come on team GB

Team gb at head of peloton. Leaders 54 seconds ahead of peloton. Chase group 30 odd seconds ahead of peloton.

Just realised I am missing the ITV4 accordian theme tune from Le Tour!

Evil - escapees being reeled in - being set up now for a race back to London, and a sprint finish!

I preferred ITV4's trance competition music Pan! Go go Manx Express! The boys are looking good !
