Flare hit Wiggins insists he's no cheat

Tour de France leader Bradley Wiggins was struck by a flare before again addressing the subject of doping in cycling by saying: “I want to prove I’m doing this off bread and water and hard work.”

On the 45th anniversary of the death of Tom Simpson, Britain’s first Tour leader, David Millar (Garmin-Sharp) became the fourth Briton to win a stage on the 99th Tour and Wiggins retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey.
