Wiggins okay despite training accident Great Britain's Bradley Wiggins has suffered what he describes as a minor setback ahead of his international track racing return next week, after suffering a suspected groin strain and cuts to the head in a bizarre training accident. The Olympic pursuit champion was thrown over the handlebars of his bike while training on the rollers last week when a sweat towel got caught in the front wheel causing it to lock.
"I think this is a minor setback," British track coach Shane Sutton told The Guardian. "He is in really good shape and given the way he is going I don't think it will destroy his form. He's a little bit down about it, but mentally it's about drawing a line and moving on."

Over the handlebars?! Has Wiggins been riding rollers with the guy who claims to have made a 20 ft skid and gone through his apartment wall?

Actually he fell over like a sissy and thinks the story about going over the bars is less embarassing than doing an Arte Johnson without clipping out.
