Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) threw down the gauntlet to his World championship rivals with a dominant victory in the 16km third stage time trial of the Tour of Britain, at Knowsley Safari Park. The Olympic champion completed the flat, but twisty course in a time of 19 minutes 54 seconds, to go 32 seconds quicker than Sky Procycling teammate Ian Stannard. Third place was taken by New Zealander Jack Bauer (Garmin-Sharp), another ten seconds back, as heavy rain fell on the race for a third straight day.
"I've made no secret that I really want to do well in this race,” said Wiggins. "I had to win today, whatever. The conditions weren't ideal for me, but I thought I'd rather end up in hospital today than be beaten, so it was 100% commitment.
"I didn't flinch on the roundabouts in the wet, and fortunately the hospitals are close to where I live, so my wife could have visited me,” he added. “I knew that...I was prepared to end up in hospital than lose the race today. It went perfect.”
Race leader Gerard Ciolek (MTN-Qhubeka) could only manage 21’45”, and slipped down the overall classification. His gold jersey was taken by Wiggins, now on course to take a first ever victory in his home tour.
"We're in a great position,” Wiggins said. "Yesterday I was quite worried about Gerald Ciolek, because if he takes time bonuses every day, Edvald Boasson Hagen won this race like that. He's [Ciolek’s] a good climber, and I thought it would be difficult, but I've taken a nice chunk of time out of him today, and hopefully that's enough.”
The first decent time was posted by Anthony Delaplace (Sojasun), whose time of 21’56” was to hold up against many of the early starters. The attacking Frenchman was to be pushed off the top of the leader board by Josh Edmondson, the first of the Team Sky riders out laying markers for Wiggins, but the young British rider’s time of 21’38” was soon eclipsed by Belgian track star Iljo Keisse (Omega Pharma-Quick Step), who posted 21’34”.
The previous day’s second place Sam Bennett (AnPost-Chainreaction) caught both Will Stephenson (Rapha Condor JLT) and Christophe Laborie (Sojasun) during his ride, to finish in a new best time of 21’31”, three seconds faster than Keisse. The Irishman was to sit in the hot seat for some time, before being pushed off by young Great Britain rider Owain Doull with 21’27”.
There was a surprise as Italian climber Stefano Pirazzi (Bardiani-CSF) pushed Doull off the top spot with a time of 21’16”, which was to stand up to British road race champion Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step), who was four seconds slower with 21’20”.
Pirazzi was also to be on top of the leader board for some time, until Bauer’s 2’36” pushed him off. Alex Wetterhall (NetApp-Endura) then pushed Pirazzi down to third place, with 21’14”, but nobody could get close to Bauer’s time.
British time trial champion Alex Dowsett (Movistar) had an eventful ride, as he was catching up with Mathew Hayman (Team Sky) and managed to get into the slipstream of the Australian’s team car before having to swerve around it. The British champion caught his former teammate soon afterwards as they re-entered the Safari Park, then almost came to grief on a sharp right-hander, but could only manage 20’50”, 14 seconds behind Bauer.
Stannard was powering around the course by then, however, and crossed the line in 20’26”, to go ten seconds faster than the New Zealander. Wiggins was just a few minutes behind his teammate however, and his time of 19’54” was to be the best of the day, and the only one to go below 20 minutes.
Ciolek seemed to be riding carefully around the wet roads and, crossing the line in 21’45”, confirmed that Wiggins was the new race leader.
