Well done Bradley!!!

[quizzywig]

But you really didn't deserve to have Lesley Garrett (with her Yorkshire chest) warbling the national anthem in front of you!

[marval]

Yes, well done Bradley.

[Frank97]

Superb Bradley and yes I thought she was awful, where was the music btw?

[fbg40]

Brilliant !! Bradley and his superb team showed today and for the past 3 weeks what team work is all about. Great result and is this an omen for the Olympics ?? Let's hope !!

couldn't agree more about Bradley Wiggins and as for Lesley Garret.......hope she stays in France for the duration of the olympics...toe curlingly embarrassing!!!

[fbg40]

I'd like to add to my post - Lesley who ?? Was she the one screeching the National Anthem ?

Honestly, can you see a French Orchestra playing GStQ on the Champs....me thinks not. She, Lesley G, was seriously off key.

Well done Bradley - there ought to be an announcement from Buck Pal that he is to be knighted...after all they did it for Francis Chichester for circling the globe single-handedly - in fact QE2 went down to the quay to kinight him off his boat (though he had stopped down here for the record).

You know why the Champs d'Elysees is so straight? The Germans hated marching around corners.

Well done 'Wiggo Le Froggy' as L'Equipe affectionately dubbed him.

It would be fitting, and save a lot of arguing, if Bradley lit the flame.

[DaisyNonna]

Fantastic result! Bien fait Bradley. Absolutely fabulous and congratulations to the whole team.

[wardlaw]

Well worthy of Sports Personality of the year unless Jess Ennis comes up trumps at the Olympics. I did hear Lesley Garrett sing in tune once and she was sh**e even then.

[DTCwordfan]

personally the flame should go to Sir Roger Bannister in my view.....

[wardlaw]

Can't argue with that DT. Hadn't thought of him before.

[joggerjayne]

Lesley Garrett?

The Queen of Karaoke Opera?

I agree with you vulcan, Bradley should light the olympic flame.

[lady-janine]

don't really care who lights the flame (thought it was already lit - thinks what have people been running around with) but would like to take this opportunity to say congratulations to Mr wiggins and all the team. they have done so very well. excellent. just hope they are fully rewarded.

[LochNessMonster]

Well done Wiggo !

As for Lesley Garrett how embarassing for all us Brits ! The dress, the person, the noise ! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

[Smowball]

Well done Bradley!!

[ichkeria]

What gets lit at the Opening ceremony is the torch in the stadium. The torches up to that point are just relays. I had heard that Sir Roger Bannister would be involved but he is not an Olympic gold medallist so maybe not.

[McMouse]

Well done Bradley. When will we hear the words "Arise Sir Wiggo"?

[ELVIS68]

Wasn't it a team effort?
