From yellow to gold for two-wheel timelord Wiggins

Bradley Wiggins last night became the most decorated British Olympian in history after he claimed a sensational gold medal in the elite men’s time-trial.

The Tour de France winner stopped the clock at 50 minutes and 39 seconds over the 44-kilometre course around London, coming in a full 42 seconds quicker than second-placed German star Tony Martin. Wiggins’ Sky team-mate Chris Froome took bronze, just over a minute back.

It brings his haul since Sydney 2000 to four gold, two bronze and one silver. Wiggins said “It’s been an amazing six weeks. I’ve answered all the questions in the last six weeks.
