Michelle Narcissism Cound

Gerry McCulloch@gerrymcculloch115 Sep

See my exclusive interview with Sir Bradley Wiggins on Sky Sports News tomorrow. Says it's not his place to clear the air with Froome

Michelle Cound@michellecound15 Sep

considering how he treated Chris it is actually, but clearly he's too caught up in his own delusions.


Looks like Froomey and Wiggo are still arch enemies from that tweet by Michelle Cound.

Froome durrrrr

Michelle Cound@michellecound12h

Me: "oh look it's Boris Bekker behind you"

Chris: "who's that? a footballer"

Cant recall which pro cycling legend it was who Froome had never heard of while stood next to him in Monaco..and now he doesn't know who Boris Becker is....can Froome really be this dumb ?

bumping with offtopic posts

Calling someone dumb , even its far from clear, its ok

Calling Cycle Chic dumb, that is pretty obvious, is a forum user personal attack

weird rules

The score is one all, so let's call it a draw and move along shall we before someone causes themselves an injury

BTW I consider any insights into the relationship between Sir Wiggo and Dawg most certainly on topic

To be fair I am Froome fan over Wiggo but Chris really does need to put a muzzle on his other half. It's not her place to speak out either. If anything needs clearing up I'm sure Brad and Chris will sort it. She is making Froome look like a spineless tool fighting his battles for him.

Half time.
Time for Wiggo to strike back.

I thought what Wiggins says was fair enough. He said it's a professional sport, you don't always get on with the people you work with but you are professional and you get on with it. Cound isn't part of the sport and consistently puts her emotive and highly personal opinions on a public forum and undoubtedly has influenced Froome and Wiggins' professional relationship.

Wiggins said he's put his hand up for the World Champs road race, that he wants to be part of it racing for a British champion (bit of a stretch with Froome) and get the same feeling he did when riding for Cav. To me he came across as being decent towards Chris. Clearly Cound is in no mood to forgive.

Quoted for truth. Cound appears to be a drama queen, ****-stirring and inserting herself into stories whenever possible. Must be a bit of a nightmare for the Sky staff, and does nothing to help Froome's public image.

To the bolded - thought that was a very clever PR move by Wiggins, to remind people that he's had no problem working for other guys in the past. (Although granted, he'll never win the kind of races Cav does and vice versa.)

I don't know. Picking apart soundbites quoted in newspapers and extrapolating meaning and agenda and subtext is tedious in extremis, and an exercise in conjecture. I have no idea what is in Brad's head, I'm not sure he does. He does very much shoot from the hip in interviews generally, I doubt he was thinking too deeply about what he was saying.
