Paper Monitor

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Hanging out for GB gold? Well, today could be the day. (Or not. Don't want to jinx these things!)

The papers have pulled out the stops for the cycling time-trial, in which Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins is a medal hope.

"HERE WIGGO! Help Bradley triumph by wearing his lucky sideburns with pride... as Britain goes for a hat-trick of GOLDS today" - the Daily Mirror, with .

"We've endured four days of Olympic ­heartache, but Bradley Wiggins is today poised to end Britain's gold drought.
Millions will watch the Tour de France champ's bid to win the 27-mile time trial as we desperately await our first gold.
The glittering prize may have eluded Team GB's athletes so far, but the 32-year-old cycling ace is confident of landing the gong."

Then there's the Sun, headlined GOING FOR WIGGOLD.

"Print off, cut out & wear your 24-carat Bradley Wiggins sideburns & back Team GB's bid to win first gold today,"
.

The Guardian devotes its centre pages to a pull-out poster in familiar red and white.
"KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON*
WE'VE STILL GOT WIGGO..."

Meanwhile, Paper Monitor notes with delight that Jack Bauer will again be racing against the clock - only this time in the men's cycling time trials. He must have taken a career break from CTU, although how an American is able to turn out for New Zealand is anyone's guess.

Still, go Jack! Tick tick tick...
