We are still a long way away from the serious racing in 2013 but over the past week or so riders have blown the cobwebs from their bikes and hit the road in preparation - I've said it before but it really is a hard life. Pictured is Bradley Wiggins getting back into the saddle - he's heading off to Majorca next week for the start of his serious 2013 build-up ending any speculation that he might not be taking 2013 too seriously after his Tour de France win. I've heard people say Wiggins looks chubby here, somebody noted that he is in fact in the small chain ring and the road isn't 'even' heading upwards! Is he puffing for oxygen here too?...Seriously? If this is an out-of shape rider I'm glad nobody is about to photograph me at the weekends....
