Bradley Wiggins New Posture 2009 vs 2012
Bradley Wiggins BEFORE (2009) - Photo by BAS CZERWINSKI/AP/Press Association Images Bradley Wiggins AFTER (2012) - Major postural improvements! I was watching Stage 19 of the 2012 Tour de France and couldn't help but notice that Bradley Wiggins looked very different compared to his time trial position in 2009. While there were small improvements over his original bike fit, the biggest difference I noticed was his posture! I don't know if he focused more on posterior chain core exercises or worked on improving the mobility and range of motion of his spine, but his new posture is much better. If you compare his thoracic spine, it's a night and day difference. In the 2009 photo, he had some obvious postural deviations, but in the 2012 photo, he's nearly maintaining a neutral spine! Now all he needs to work on is his lower back flexibility, but most of that isn't his fault- it's mostly due to UCI's decision to enforce Article 1.3.014.
