THOUSANDS lined the streets of the Scottish Borders hoping to catch a glimpse of Tour de France and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins.
The rider, credited with sparking a national cycling boom, was competing in the Tour of Britain, an eight-day race of which stage three wound its way 94 miles from Jedburgh to Dumfries yesterday.
World champion Mark Cavendish was also among the pro-cycling peloton alongside a host of the sport's biggest names, including two-times Giro d'Italia winner Ivan Basso and 2008 Olympic road race champion Samuel Sanchez.
