Road cycling legend and multi Olympic gold medal winner Bradley Wiggins took first place in the Northern Rock Cyclone Beaumont Trophy in Northumberland on June 14th. He was also the proud winner of the Saddle Skedaddle sponsored King of the Mountains contest and was noticeably overjoyed when Skedaddle’s own road legend / guru / charlatan, David “Little Dave” Hall presented him with his award.
Bradley commented ”I was honoured to receive the King of the Mountains from David. They say you should never meet your heroes, but David was everything I ever hoped for and more besides. Even after 5 Olympic medals this must surely be the highlight of my cycling life”
David in return commented “My legs are much nicer than Bradley’s and i’ve recommended to him a new razor. I hadn’t realised that he was so short. Do you know that one of his team mates carries a milk crate with him everywhere they go? They bring it out for every photo shoot - it’s a stroke of pure genius”
(David’s the one on the left…. in case you wondered).

Winners usually get magnums of champagne, but then again given the small man size he wouldn’t be able to lift it
