Despite leading the Tour de France and being favourite to win the yellow jersey, Bradley Wiggins is finding coverage hard to come by.
Instead of focusing on his exploits on the roads of France, the majority of newspaper inches are still being dedicated to the likes of John Terry and David Haye, two men who have brought their sports into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
I think the papers and people in general should pay more attention to someone like Wiggins, who is excelling in his sporting arena and nothing more.
He is on course to become the first British winner of the tour since its inception, and if he were to do so, would complete an unprecedented period of success for British cycling post Beijing 2008.
It would be refreshing for those in the media to focus on someone like Wiggins who is a credit to his sport and aim less focus at people who are dragging theirs through the mud.
