Here's the soundtrack of Stat Towers, this afternoon.
I would say NSFW but as none of you loafers are working, it doesn't matter

Brad for GOLD in the Olympics

Froome for Silver

1st of August day to call in sick to work

 

[Mr Blobby]

Wiggins first by miles overall, Froome into 3rd and Nick Roach 10th place.

Excellent stuff.

Call me Statty pessimist, but I just can't see how.
Straight after winning the yellow jersey (1 chicken 2 chickens) into the Olympics.
Physically it might not be a problem but keeping it all together mentally, I just can't see it.

That was ridiculous. Imagine if he had the proper skinsuit, that is worth another 20 seconds over that distance according to Hutchinson on Eurosport anyway.

 

[Stat Brother]

How is Hutch?

 

[Foolg]

Shoved a tenner on Wiggins to win that at 11/10, my biggest ever stake. Never in doubt.

 

[Marxo]

Flemish commentators saying Wiggo's TT reminded them of Armstrong (in the good sense).
