I know he lives in Chorley but wonder what attracted him to RL and Wigan. Very impressed with him though, especially the sportsmanship he showed by stopping to let the guy with punctures catch him up, shows he might be a true Wiganer. Top man.
I'm not sure why he's a Wigan fan but I did see a tweet from someone (might have even been this website) wishing him well with a picture of him wearing this season's away shirt. I was just putting two and two together. Besides, if he lives in Ecclestone, there's no reason he shouldn't support his local team.

His life story is in today's Mirror. Well worth a read!

Nice to see Brad give the Joining Jack sign when he was on the podium
This St Helens Defence is like a lollipopman at Brands Hatch -Ray French BBC TV Challenge Cup 1982

We eed to make the most of the connection. Surely he should be paraded / clapped at one of our forthcoming matches. Must be BBC Sports Personality of the Year too ? First Brit to win the Tour De France

I'd like to think so but as no round ball is involved, I won't hold my breath!

Cant wait for todays stage, will be one to remember just hope Cav finishes it off in style.

Seen bradley once or twice in his timetrial helmet around chorley few years back and a team sky car also around horwich bolon arena ages ago... He trains around the pennines.


Great day ahed

Sky have put in an absolute masterclass in stifling, supressing control. Fantastic team effort. He also shows his Warriors alligence using a WW shoe bag on tour!!!!

I do ironman and ultra-marathons - I generally prefer very long distance. After Christmas I was training in the hills and I'm not too shabby. Brad came cruising past me up a 15% hill like it wasn't there. He was simply epic.

The hours of volume and graft he has put in to achieve beggar belief

Regardless, he's a Wigan fan and we should get him to a game. Might be another way of improving sales for the 'Big One'. Just get him to a game in his yellow jersey. That would be brilliant.
