How far back did you have to go to find that one?

July 16, mid Tour. But I knew all those from memory. I am not that infatuated that I would read the twitter. I hope someone could mine the material. Interested to do it for a laff Dim. I will forgive the 20 quid you owe me in the bet if you can add it to this thread. Rich material, richer than one of Paul Sherwin's conflict diamond mines in Congo.

Way to ignore there kiddo.

I Guess thats the kind of logic that Caddel true believers have to use.

And BTW how did you know that I'm a chick, you must have good womens intuition?

Do you have any affiliation with Lambstrong?

Oh good grief. It's me, McKnuckles.

Why would you need a sockpuppet to post the same sort of fail pics that you do under your own username?
Anyway, I missed on that one, but I still think Wonderlance is Aussie. He is just using the same "I'm from the UK" schtick that BPC made famous. Although I may only say that because it seems to bother Auscyclefan.

Why would someone pretend to be from the UK? Is there some special credibility that only people from the UK have?

I'd find this thread more amusing if there wasn't a hater under current to it. It seems to me that some people are disappointed that a rider with no controversy surrounding him has done so well.

Luckily Wiggins is the type of character who would read a thread like this with detached amusement - he doesn't have the ego issues of the likes of Armstrong. But I still don't think it's nice to try to smear the guy and pretend he's like those who have years of controversy behind them.

Wigans on the anti-doping team Garmin:

"I think I can do better this year and make improvements in certain areas I felt I was always restricted with at that team."

I guess we should give him some props for honesty.

Yep, this is definitely a rather crude smear operation.

Who would have thought that the island that produced Blackadder, Red Dwarf, and the third season finale of The Restaurant would be filled with people lacking a sense of humor?

But that's the point. Humour is not the purpose here, it's just the tactic you're using. You and blackcat are simply trying to use whatever weak stuff you can to smear him as a doper and some prima donna. That's what you're about. Blackcat is on a mission to run Wiggins' name through the mud.

If you respected him as a rider and were just having a little fun at some of the things he says, winding up the Brits and mocking 1960s London fashion, that would be alright. But that isn't the point here.

You're rather hateful and nasty people I'm afraid. I hope everyone can see what you're up to. I'm calling you on it.

Agree entirely. Frankly it's pretty pathetic.

But to be honest, that is more a reflection on certain posters than Brad.

Still, each to their own.:)

Of course there is ;).

That's why there's always the need to qualify any Brit-baiting with the NEEED to display the knowledge that you totally 'get' Monty Python!

Why is it that all those people who pretend to have no allegiances to American teams in particular and tend to be from the U.S, suddenly get upset when Sir Bradley comes home?

I think the truth lies in the absolute NEEED to create this thread :).

Bro - thanks for listing the riders that are going to put 20 mins on Wiggo :D
