I gotta say that it would be quite hilarious if the guy who yesterday tweeted the following:

The internet is for porn and fun. Don't get that serious with what I'm saying here. It entertains. All trouble is coming from serious faces

teams up with Google to sponsor a cycling team.

Believe it or not they are actually the Jayco-AIS (or whatever the non-team is called now) colours.

He should be doing the TdU and Sun Tour as part of the national team.
