Harsh, it would be inadvisable to use the same tyre on it & the road. I just keep the old used ones & use them. There are  'Turbo Tyres' but never had one.

There's turbo tyres in decathlon for about a tenner. You shouldn't inflate fully either

See Wiggins is going on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday. Hard to imagine he'll get a soft touch interview there.

Must get a look at this!

Cold weather coming in and the nights away to hell, so winter bikes will be out soon! Frustrating year for me so far. Going well for the first part and then have been plagued with tendonitis for the guts of 5 months or more. Still not away but much better than it was. Will have to get the turbo out and get the winter bike prepared for all the shit weather that's ahead of us.

Timing very dodgy. Are there any athletes that don't have asthma?!

Yip. But we probably haven't heard of them.

Unconvincing from a very sheepish looking Wiggins.

If he has suffered badly with asthma all his life then surely a look into his medical records as a teenager would show that.

When are professional sports people, particularly those in athletics and cycling, going to realise that due to the complete mistrust people have with drugs in sport they need to be able to stand up and give convincing answers to legitimate questions being asked of them. Especially if the athlete has a holier-than-thou attitude to drug taking. Providing vague or inaccurate answers only intensifies the mistrust and quite rightly has people probing further into it.

Mistrust doesn't really matter, unless it ends up hitting the big stars in the pocket.

How much would Froome and Farah have earned in the last 12 months I wonder?

There are only so many cracks that can keep appearing.

Eventually one bursts the dam.

Flat out at it, best Autumn miles I've ever had. We started a Night Spin as well, 7 weeks in a row out with no issues, weather's gonna knock it on the head for a while now by the looks of it.
