Well. When I say met, I mean him and family were in supermarket queue in front of us ( in Majorca on hols)

I spotted him, he spotted me spotting him and nodded. I then looked away, told Wifey who didn't look and we then pointedly ignored them - left them in peace.

It was sooooo hard but I don't sense he likes being recognized or approached

Hope it was the right thing to do. But bloody hell hes tall and thin.

So wanted a pic but people deserve their privacy

Selva actually. The guys we are borrowing the villa from sort of know him and says he's "a bit private"

Yeh got the TUE reference but hopefully won't descend into that

Nice place Selva, especially with the climb from there up into the mountains. Wiggins was in pollenca last time I stayed there, I think he's a bit of a regular. Mind you if I had his money I would be too!

Nice climb from Selva up to the petrol station/cafe - definitely the best side to climb Lluc.

I think Wiggo has a place in Sineu.

Met and rode with him in 2009 when he rode for Garmin. It was around the time he was signing for sky, and he clearly didn't want to do his duty.

Got some more pics somewhere, will dog then out. It was the first ever annual Garmin rideout.

If you think he's thin now he was 4 stone thinner when he won the Tour De France.

I think the accepted PH greeting is to wait for him outside the laundrette
