Re-cycling Ryan

Bradley Wiggins - The Movie? Surely it's only a matter of time after
the charismatic Brit's astonishing win in the Tour de France.

But who to portray the man who has added the UK's first ever
Yellow Jersey to a a string of Olympic cycling golds over
the last dozen years?

Trouble is, this country's hottest young actors, such as Tom
Hiddleston, Eddie Redmayne, Ed Stoppard and Dan Stevens
are, frankly, far too posh - and, to be honest, a bit too fey -
to portray the no-nonsense thirtysomething from North London.

So, in the great tradition of
cinema, and perhaps the
promiseof a healthy injection
of studio funds,we look instead
to Hollywood-- and no
further than Oscar-nominated
lookalike Ryan Gosling who with
a spectacular set of sideburns
would be Wiggo to the 'T'.

And as if fate destined, we note
where Gosling was actually born.
London, no less, albeit London,
Ontario. It's a no brainer.
