:00:02. > :00:06.the gold rush going to continue in the velodrome? I have my fingers
:00:06. > :00:10.crossed. We will have Chris Boardman with us, and he is clearly
:00:10. > :00:14.a lucky charm. Over the next few hours, gymnastics will be our main
:00:14. > :00:17.feature. Coming up in just a few moments will be the men's all-round
:00:18. > :00:27.final. We have got Kristian Thomas and Daniel Purvis going for Great
:00:28. > :00:30.
:00:30. > :00:40.Britain. We have then got women's volleyball. Then we will have all
:00:40. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:57.the latest from Weymouth. And They are leading 1-0 at the moment.
:00:57. > :01:02.Plenty of options on the red button as well. Now it is gymnastics.
:01:02. > :01:06.Wonderful scenes two days ago when Great Britain picked up that
:01:06. > :01:12.unexpected bronze medal. Christine Thomas and Daniel Purvis are back
:01:12. > :01:18.today. Kristin qualified 5th and Dan 10th, so there is an outside
:01:18. > :01:28.chance of a medal. The man they all have to beat his Co hate what she
:01:28. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:41.Mora of Japan. -- Kohei Uchimura. He is a man on a mission here.
:01:42. > :01:51.Listen to their reaction of the crowd when they hear his name. He
:01:52. > :01:54.
:01:54. > :02:04.is a superstar. He is on form here. A touch of class. Absolutely
:02:04. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:35.extraordinary. What a joy. Here That will do very nicely. Genius
:02:35. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:42.and that his wife. He is the best in the world. They have not been
:02:42. > :02:47.beaten for the last three years. The competition is just getting
:02:47. > :02:57.under way, so let's join our commentators, Mitch Fenner,
:02:57. > :03:11.
:03:11. > :03:16.individual final. Christine Thomas has been so consistent throughout.
:03:16. > :03:22.Let's hope that consistency continues. This is not the place
:03:22. > :03:27.for it to end. There we can see him. He will be the first gymnast to go
:03:27. > :03:37.in this competition on the floor, the piece of apparatus that sealed
:03:37. > :03:42.the bronze. Daniel Purvis will start over on pommel horse.
:03:42. > :03:47.Interestingly, the man with a towel around his shoulders, there are six
:03:47. > :03:54.gymnasts in with a really good chance here and amongst them are
:03:54. > :04:02.two British. Absolutely amazing. They have earned the right to be
:04:02. > :04:11.ranked in that top six in terms of scores. Christine Thomas --
:04:11. > :04:15.Kristian Thomas is Nistor consistency. He has been injured
:04:15. > :04:25.for some time and this is his comeback. He is an extraordinary
:04:25. > :04:32.gymnast. He sometimes it loses a bit of execution on pommel horse.
:04:32. > :04:37.Kohei Uchimura has been a little bit rusty whilst he has been here.
:04:37. > :04:46.The question is, will they get the Polish out? I have a feeling they
:04:46. > :04:50.will be much better. How much has winning that bronze medal taken out
:04:50. > :04:56.of the British couple? They have done a lot of media work and
:04:56. > :05:06.interviews. I hope they can keep calm and he concentrated on the job
:05:06. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :06:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:06:05. > :06:15.at hand. They have done an awful controlled. Very clean, very
:06:15. > :06:15.
:06:15. > :06:23.stylish at the moment. The final double Arabian. That will do very
:06:23. > :06:31.nicely indeed. What a star if indeed with five pieces to go. He
:06:31. > :06:35.will move on to pommel horse. impressive. He has done a lot of
:06:35. > :06:45.media work and two competitions already and he just looked as fresh
:06:45. > :06:48.
:06:48. > :06:55.as he could be. That was the big, double, pike, Arabian. He kicked
:06:55. > :07:03.out at the perfect time. He meets the floor into the fault Western
:07:03. > :07:13.Front. There is a philosophy to say that when you are tired you go into
:07:13. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:57.auto drive and that looked a bit but not the most difficult we will
:07:57. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:20.his appalled in the team championship which brought an end
:08:20. > :08:20.
:08:20. > :09:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:09:21. > :09:31.to the hopes of the USA, so he has is going to be a cracker of a
:09:31. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:46.competition. Come on, Dan. Gosh, he is still on the pommel horse. We
:09:46. > :09:56.might have taken a break, but he did not. He is winning dutifully
:09:56. > :09:56.
:09:56. > :10:06.now. Just lost forms slightly, but this is big difficulty, this
:10:06. > :10:06.
:10:06. > :10:12.routine. He looks totally determined. Well done. Well done
:10:12. > :10:16.indeed. Massive difficulty in there and he made a good recovery. That
:10:16. > :10:26.would do a great deal for his confidence that he overcame the
:10:26. > :10:32.difficulties. That is a good, safe start. It gave us a few
:10:32. > :10:42.palpitations, but he is focused. Into the very difficult rushing
:10:42. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:53.combination at the end. He got himself together. A very good
:10:53. > :10:53.
:10:54. > :10:56.recovery and then the dismount was fluid. This is the thing, it is
:10:56. > :11:03.that interesting combination between the difficulty and the
:11:03. > :11:09.executions. If you let the form go a little bit, if you have a high
:11:09. > :11:14.difficult to value, it is not too dangerous or damaging. You cannot
:11:14. > :11:21.compromise, you have to make the equation, go for a difficulty and
:11:21. > :11:29.focus to go through it. There is no compromise. He looks very anxious
:11:29. > :11:34.waiting for the score. He struggled a bit on pommel horse in
:11:34. > :11:44.qualification. He was much better in team final. He will be pleased
:11:44. > :11:51.to have it over with. That is all right. Indeed it is. Here he is, a
:11:51. > :12:01.legend. He has won the last three titles at the World all-around
:12:01. > :12:08.
:12:08. > :12:18.final. Has he got his individual head on? It was not there for the
:12:18. > :12:28.team. That is a good start. He lost the shape a little bit, but did
:12:28. > :12:48.
:12:48. > :12:58.very well to get it back. This is good start. That was the dismount
:12:58. > :13:05.that caused the judges' dispute. It downgraded Great Britain's silver
:13:05. > :13:09.to a bronze. He is very happy with that performance. He struggled on
:13:09. > :13:14.pommel horse the whole time throughout the competition. He is
:13:14. > :13:19.not usually very demonstrative, but you can see he was definitely
:13:19. > :13:23.thrilled to land that dismount in one piece. It was in the Olympic
:13:23. > :13:33.final where he fell off twice in the pommel horse that stopped him
:13:33. > :13:51.
:13:51. > :14:00.getting the gold. Yes, he got the is very quiet, but he will approach.
:14:00. > :14:09.A very good all-rounder. I think that step was out of the floor area.
:14:09. > :14:17.It will be a deduction. But you need every point at this level.
:14:17. > :14:25.Lovely technique. Half in, double front, half out. Really versatile
:14:25. > :14:35.in his technique. Very speedy with his performance. He zips through
:14:35. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:51.the floor routine. They have to show all areas, balance, control.
:14:51. > :14:55.
:14:55. > :15:02.Power as well. That was the power. Lovely control on the landings. A
:15:02. > :15:12.triple twist, but he was a little bit short. They will give it to him
:15:12. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:50.it with a deduction, but that was nicely constructed routine. Just a
:15:50. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:02.few tiny execution errors. A little on, how costly will those mistakes
:16:02. > :16:06.have been? CHRISTINE STILL: Quite costly. And
:16:06. > :16:16.of course, the Russian team must have been very disappointed with
:16:16. > :16:16.
:16:16. > :16:22.their final position in the team final. Well, Team USA had an
:16:22. > :16:32.absolute disaster in the team competition. Danell Leyva was their
:16:32. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:46.highest qualifier. This, a real chance for gold. I hope he can hold
:16:46. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:14.his focus, he is a very elegant the difficult lift from that
:17:14. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:49.position, beautifully performed. He very unusual, absolutely pencil
:17:49. > :17:55.straight. No wonder you're celebrating. The celebration will
:17:55. > :18:02.continue, when he meets up with his stepfather. But yes, Danell Leyva
:18:02. > :18:12.looks like the one to beat. I will tell you more about his stepfather
:18:12. > :18:14.
:18:14. > :18:20.in a while. But first, we can join Capelli on the rings. A 25-year-old
:18:20. > :18:26.swish -- Swiss gymnast. Not sure how much he will threaten for the
:18:26. > :18:36.podium places. He has been a stalwart for Switzerland in the
:18:36. > :18:57.
:18:57. > :19:04.World Championships. He is a strong shaky at the top. Into the
:19:05. > :19:10.dismount... I will tell you what, he did well to get through that
:19:10. > :19:14.routine, because he got a swing on right at the start, and he never
:19:14. > :19:24.really cancelled it out. And you will remember that from your days,
:19:24. > :19:40.
:19:40. > :19:50.Matt, once you get a swing on, it from the Ukrainian. They are
:19:50. > :20:21.
:20:21. > :20:24.building a reputation these days. Japanese handstand. That's the
:20:24. > :20:34.second link influenced by the pommel horse, and he did it very
:20:34. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :21:00.well. This is a good start. Good because it was a clean routine.
:21:00. > :21:03.MATT BAKER: That's it for the first rotation.
:21:03. > :21:09.We will be back live at the gymnastics shortly, but a short
:21:09. > :21:14.time ago, you may have seen Bradley Wiggins taking a Olympic gold in
:21:14. > :21:19.the Time Trial. What a month it has been for him. His fourth gold, his
:21:19. > :21:29.seventh Olympic medal in total, making him the most decorated
:21:29. > :21:29.
:21:29. > :21:37.British Olympian ever. He has been speaking to Jill Douglas. Bradley,
:21:37. > :21:43.a nation toasts you. What does this mean to you? I cannot put it into
:21:43. > :21:46.words, I cannot do it justice. It was incredible. To win an and
:21:46. > :21:50.Olympic gold in your home city, in the velodrome, would have been
:21:50. > :21:57.incredible, with 4,000 people cheering you on, but to do it
:21:57. > :22:02.around the streets of wherever we are, it was phenomenal. Just going
:22:02. > :22:06.through Kingston at the end, the noise was amazing. I don't think my
:22:06. > :22:10.sporting career will over top that. What a month it has been, winning
:22:10. > :22:14.the Tour the France, and the Time Trial at the Olympic Games, that's
:22:14. > :22:18.it now, it is never going to get any better than that.
:22:18. > :22:27.incredibly, so many of these people are wearing sideburns. It is mad,
:22:27. > :22:33.isn't it? Now, that medal, seven Olympic medals, Britain's most
:22:33. > :22:38.decorated Olympian - what does that mean? Well, this morning, I kept
:22:38. > :22:43.seeing these reports on the television, saying that it had to
:22:43. > :22:49.be gold or nothing today. What's the point in having seven medals if
:22:49. > :22:55.they have to be one colour? But the main thing is that it is number
:22:55. > :23:00.four. So, I have got to go on to Rio now, to get number five. But
:23:00. > :23:04.just a word for Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Steve Redgrave, to be up there
:23:04. > :23:09.with those guys, it is very special. You looked a bit thoughtful on the
:23:09. > :23:13.top step of that podium, what was going on in your mind? I was trying
:23:13. > :23:18.to soak it in, because I had no memories of the other terms, it
:23:18. > :23:22.happened so quick. To be here in front of, wherever we are, that
:23:22. > :23:32.castle over there, it is just so British. The sun came out
:23:32. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:48.eventually, and it has topped it Rio, that's great news. And that
:23:48. > :23:58.followed on from the gold medal earlier at Eton Dorney. Anyway, now,
:23:58. > :24:01.
:24:01. > :24:11.the first gymnast up on to the rings, but these are the standings
:24:11. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:35.have vaulted to be higher up the standings. Until they have all gone
:24:35. > :24:44.on that piece of apparatus, you really have no idea. This is just a
:24:44. > :24:47.warm-up, do not worry about this! But so far, so very good, for
:24:47. > :24:54.Kristian Thomas. CHRISTINE STILL: Very much so. He
:24:54. > :25:00.really gave an almost faultless routine. Probably the best floor
:25:00. > :25:04.routine we have seen him do. We have seen him do it twice in the
:25:04. > :25:09.team competition, and today, as an individual. We were thinking, can
:25:09. > :25:16.he do it all over again? But certainly, from his first piece, it
:25:16. > :25:25.looks like he can. This is just the warm-up, as you say, they are not
:25:25. > :25:30.doing a full routine. Dan will be the first one up on to the rings,
:25:30. > :25:35.and Kristian will be the last one, so he will have quite a long wait.
:25:35. > :25:40.That cannot help, which? MITCH FENNER: It is difficult to
:25:40. > :25:50.keep your focus, but these guys are used to it. It evens out as the
:25:50. > :25:57.
:25:57. > :26:01.have struggled on, really. Looking at their team score, they could do
:26:01. > :26:06.with an extra mark on this one. I always used to find this one a very
:26:06. > :26:10.difficult piece of apparatus. demands, in terms of physical
:26:11. > :26:14.preparation, the strength you need, we have got a young team, but we do
:26:14. > :26:19.need to address it. We have got youngsters coming through, some
:26:19. > :26:29.very good people coming through, so we can make right the problem on
:26:29. > :26:39.
:26:39. > :26:43.highest scores in the all-round competition in the world this year.
:26:43. > :26:53.Straight into a very impressive strength element, held easily. He
:26:53. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:11.secure. Lovely technique in the hamster and shape. Forward, into
:27:11. > :27:13.
:27:13. > :27:23.the somersault. He has got great control at the top of his swing.
:27:23. > :27:24.
:27:24. > :27:27.Double twister! He squeezed in the extra half. That was good work.
:27:27. > :27:37.crammed in the difficulty, and I have to say, that is probably one
:27:37. > :27:40.
:27:40. > :27:43.of the best routines I have seen him do on the rings. Yes, his
:27:43. > :27:53.strength work is coming along nicely. It was very well put
:27:53. > :27:55.
:27:56. > :28:03.together. He swings like a dream on this apparatus. He knows where to
:28:03. > :28:08.put the Rings, very disciplined. know the British lads have made
:28:08. > :28:13.such an impact at these Olympics, and to be talking about them up in
:28:13. > :28:17.the top five in the world, it is really quite extraordinary. Well,
:28:17. > :28:27.because we will have to get used to it, because this is going to be
:28:27. > :28:38.
:28:38. > :28:44.around for a long time, I'm sure, tentative on the pommel horse. He
:28:44. > :28:48.just does not look comfortable this year, somehow. He looks just a
:28:48. > :28:58.little bit slim. I just wonder whether he has got the strength on
:28:58. > :29:13.
:29:13. > :29:18.this apparatus. Technically, he is Yes, you need to show those
:29:18. > :29:28.strength positions for long enough. That's good. He has got the time on
:29:28. > :29:59.
:29:59. > :30:05.ride today, he is looking the best we have seen him. John Orozco, he
:30:05. > :30:12.looks stressed. Oh, my word. Well, he is out of the running, and he
:30:12. > :30:18.was a potential medallist. So, what does that mean for Kristian Thomas
:30:18. > :30:27.and Daniel Purvis, and for this man? Well, my word! That was a
:30:27. > :30:31.disastrous start, he will not get the value for that. He has been
:30:31. > :30:36.suffering with ankle injuries, and obviously, while that has been
:30:36. > :30:46.happening, he has spent a lot of time on the support phases, he is
:30:46. > :30:46.
:30:46. > :30:56.swinging much better, and he kicked off up into that dismount there. I
:30:56. > :31:04.
:31:04. > :31:10.would say that was not without very well. It wasn't fluid, you are
:31:10. > :31:16.quite right. He missed the hands stand so he will be down on
:31:16. > :31:21.difficulty. Lots of skewing going on. A clever little dismount, but
:31:21. > :31:31.there wasn't a lot in it before then. He played a little bit to
:31:31. > :31:45.
:31:45. > :31:54.save. He is not convinced with that school you were expecting to see
:31:54. > :32:04.the Hambuchen, Mitch? He will be lucky if he is in Heidi 13. This
:32:04. > :32:11.
:32:11. > :32:16.man looks like the one to beat. So incredibly focused. -- high 13.
:32:16. > :32:22.There is a bit of deliberation over this score. I was hoping he was
:32:22. > :32:29.going to make his mark here. This is his weakest piece. He is very
:32:29. > :32:34.solid on the rest. His difficulty score will be down a little. It was
:32:34. > :32:44.a very quick at routine and he made some technical errors. Just wait
:32:44. > :32:47.
:32:47. > :32:52.until you see him on high bar. absolutely. Deliberation. It looks
:32:52. > :32:58.like they have made a decision, they are punching the score in. It
:32:58. > :33:04.should be with us in just a few moments. Kristian Thomas in this
:33:04. > :33:09.same group, so he will be watching this. Hopefully it will be building
:33:09. > :33:15.his confidence. It can have that affect can't it? Is it a good day
:33:15. > :33:19.or a bad day for the pommel horse? He is probably not Kristian
:33:19. > :33:25.Thomas's strongest piece. The British team did not use him on the
:33:25. > :33:32.pommel horse in the team final when you only use three people. It will
:33:32. > :33:42.be a PC will be happy to get out of the way. Already starting his
:33:42. > :33:48.
:33:48. > :33:53.preparation for the Rings. -- a piece. You may remember seeing his
:33:53. > :34:03.team mate go out of the arena. He is here, because he is resting his
:34:03. > :34:09.
:34:09. > :34:19.fault. -- feet. He was pretty much dead centre. What are you want in
:34:19. > :34:24.
:34:24. > :34:33.an all-around competition. Good bit of judging. No 13. This is a vital
:34:33. > :34:43.piece of apparatus the David Belyavskiy. Stretching the body out.
:34:43. > :34:45.
:34:45. > :34:50.He worked fast and managed to keep the momentum going. Well lifted
:34:50. > :34:55.above the handle. You have to keep your whole body above the handle
:34:55. > :35:02.and not touch it. Every time you touch the handle for the horse the
:35:02. > :35:10.there are deductions. He ended of battling through to the dismount.
:35:10. > :35:20.We have yet to see a smooth the pommel horse routine. He exploded
:35:20. > :35:22.
:35:22. > :35:32.once, but did very well to hang on. At this stage ahead of his team
:35:32. > :35:41.
:35:42. > :35:51.is leading this competition is because he put in a massive vault
:35:52. > :35:55.
:35:55. > :36:05.and scored 16. Easy start. He bent his arms, these days you expect
:36:05. > :36:29.
:36:29. > :36:35.Dismount was cleanly done. We are seeing some enormous scores on the
:36:35. > :36:45.vault. Don't be do -- two surprised when you see the British boys drop
:36:45. > :36:46.
:36:46. > :36:50.down the standings. Nice, clean work. Look at the tightness of that.

:55:24. > :55:29.Have you thought of coaching as a turn. Again, that measured approach,

:55:56. > :56:01.down a little further. Every time the gymnasts do one of the strength

:56:11. > :56:17.Must hold for two. It was a bit Harrad. Now they have to show up
:56:17. > :56:21.swing and strength -- it was a bit hurried. Really nice, he lifts into

:18:01. > :18:11.swing those. -- the high bars are this piece. Positive thinking!
:18:11. > :18:20.
:18:20. > :18:30.just informing everyone! Of the release, that is nice. Separating
:18:30. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:42.his releases. A change of grip. A little bit of a bent arm. A full

:18:59. > :19:07.double with a little hop to the side. Well, he is the gymnast to
:19:07. > :19:17.catch for four off. -- for 4th. That is disastrous for the South
:19:17. > :19:29.
:19:29. > :19:39.impressive bowled in the team final. -- impressive vault in the team
:19:39. > :19:51.
:19:51. > :19:55.final. He is hoping for something have to go for it. What a shame. He
:19:55. > :20:05.just squeezed in to heart, it is his first mistake over the whole
:20:05. > :20:12.
:20:12. > :20:18.competition and he will be so just needed to poke it up from the
:20:18. > :20:21.top of the course. It is a good contact from there. He worked very
:20:21. > :20:27.hard on the double pike, he squeezed it in just a little bit
:20:27. > :20:32.too hard. He could have done with a bit more air and to take the pike
:20:32. > :20:40.slightly easier. It will be expensive, and it was crucial at
:20:40. > :20:47.this stage of the competition. won't be a 16.5, I am afraid to say,
:20:47. > :20:57.but he fought hard for it. It is so much a 100% vaults, you can't play
:20:57. > :21:01.
:21:01. > :21:11.safe, you can't change your mind. - - a 100% vault. Marcel Nguyen is
:21:11. > :21:20.
:21:20. > :21:30.the European champion on this piece in the double releases. This is
:21:30. > :21:38.
:21:38. > :21:48.strong from Nguyen. Plenty of time, To me, that is miraculous, the way
:21:48. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:03.he clears the bar. He Verniaiev, it exercise from him. Here's one of
:22:03. > :22:07.the real class performers on parallel bars. Look at the height
:22:07. > :22:10.he generates off the bar. Just getting ready for the double
:22:11. > :22:16.somersault. That is one of the best we have seen, not too much of a
:22:16. > :22:26.Scrabble. If you go high, you could see where you are and be ready for
:22:26. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:43.A real mark of his own gymnastics, we don't see anyone else perform
:22:43. > :22:59.
:22:59. > :23:09.he will struggle to get up into the rotation. The next to swing the
:23:09. > :23:14.
:23:14. > :23:24.higher bar. Can he keep his composure? So much at stake. Two
:23:24. > :23:30.
:23:30. > :23:37.worker, that was very nice, out into handstand. Winding up now for
:23:37. > :23:42.something big, over the bar he goes, the back somersault with a twist.
:23:42. > :23:48.And now the close elements and the turns. Penises to try to make the
:23:48. > :23:55.turns sharp, just like that -- he needs to try to make the turns
:23:56. > :24:05.sharp. Good control handstand, that Turner was quite good. They close
:24:06. > :24:06.
:24:06. > :24:11.element, coming in close to the bar. The gymnast has to show that. He
:24:11. > :24:20.changes the body up into the air, or is going to set a big challenge,
:24:20. > :24:24.it could be Japan 1 and 2 today. Considering he is only in the
:24:24. > :24:33.competition because of the injury to his team-mates. Marcel Nguyen
:24:33. > :24:41.will move up. I expect so, it was a brilliant routine and from him.
:24:41. > :24:51.Still a lot of gymnasts to come. anarcha really produced a good bar.
:24:51. > :24:51.
:24:51. > :25:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:25:37. > :25:41.style. He flies through the double self. He doesn't. He is half a
:25:41. > :25:48.degree under, good business thought he would do if he was half a degree
:25:48. > :25:51.over. He is a phenomenal character. We have seen him be so dominant
:25:51. > :25:55.over these last few years that he could easily make a couple of
:25:55. > :26:03.mistakes and still win. He has had the same quality of work, but not
:26:03. > :26:13.the same dynamic, really. You see it on the high bar. He is usually
:26:13. > :26:13.
:26:13. > :27:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 59 seconds
:27:08. > :27:14.high and clean. I noticed this week difficult as it looks but it is a
:27:15. > :27:20.nice little touch. The straddle Front, he is clean on his releases,
:27:20. > :27:29.he is keeping the swing, this is a good gymnast and a lovely double
:27:29. > :27:39.pike. What a dismount! He skips off and makes way for Dan Purvis.
:27:39. > :27:57.
:27:57. > :28:02.Definitely building confidence as somersault, a good high front
:28:02. > :28:10.somersault brings the shoulders and the eyes through, so that he can
:28:10. > :28:17.see the bar. Catch efficiently. Work out of the next move. That is
:28:17. > :28:27.the way he can finish. Very good lift on the dismount, his chest is
:28:27. > :28:39.
:28:39. > :28:44.right up. No deductions for chest competition, apologies, we have to
:28:44. > :28:47.leave the live coverage on BBC One, we are going to move over to BBC
:28:48. > :28:50.Two in just a moment. If you are just joining us, the news here
:28:50. > :28:54.just joining us, the news here today is that Bradley Wiggins has
