gooner said:Walsh requested this on his own accord in the same way Kimmage did it in 2008. No difference. Kimmage in the Irish Indo video said having a journalist around for 3 weeks in the Tour shows the transparency. Now, why hasn't he acknowledged this with Walsh who is just as much respected if not more than him when he has been with them for a far longer period. He puts a lot of emphasis on the "embedded journalist" transparency with regards to himself but dismisses it with Walsh. That's something I'm not going to accept.
On the bolded part, you do know Kimmage was in the Sunday Times when he requested access to Sky for the 2010 Tour.
Did Walsh request 'embedding' with Sky, I thought Brailsford invited Walsh.
As for Kimmage going to the TdF with Sky in 2010 I again thought that was Brailsfords invitation and Kimmage agreed only to it only if it was 'access all areas', which was rescinded on the eve of the tour due to Woggins not wanting Kiimage to have access till a certain point of the race.
