Fu*k, another incarnation of the mentally ill troll! He just needs to change his new names to something with syphilis in them.

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.

Wiggins is not doing anything anyone else in the pointy end of the peloton is not doing. He competes on a fair playing field. Or mountain.

I think he will make the podium this year. Bro reckons he will go out the back of the peloton @ss backwards and spend a day in the gruppetto. I reckon that is silly.

Wiggins has ALOT of potential he has not tapped, Brailsford will run a program that allows him to compete against Contador and Andy Schleck, and I want to see that. I have forgotten my ideals of a clean and pure sport. So just gimme the sport, feed them to the lions, gimme entertainment.

If Wiggins can reproduce his sub 4'15" individual pursuit power, because he probably had a ride in him a few seconds under that, but never needed to, and just rode conservatively for the win. If Wiggins produces that power, in the final timetrial, he is probably the only guy who can bear Contador. Andy Schleck will be giving up 90 seconds on that final chrono. Wiggins potentially can get time off Contador. Tho Wiggins has never been able to timetrial with the best, Brailsford will work wonders, and pull out the power from the track, even though he will be 8-9-10 kgs underweight, in that final chrono. He follows wheels in the mtns, and tries to follow Contador and Schleck, he will make the podium.

I will bet Bro 20 quid, and Dim, you can take half that bet, each of us, we bet Bro 10 quid. I bet all 20 if you dont wanna pieace. Easy money. Ta Bro.

Wiggins will make the podium. Heard it here first. Dont be surprised when he achieves a few levels higher than he did at Garmin. Call me the seer.

Yep, this is definitely a rather crude smear operation.
word I agree Bradley, Brailsford will have the best of sports medicine with British docs hitting you with all the insulin, IGF-1, Sarms, Hematide, transfusions, and HGH.

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.

I thought everybody knew who Fabian Cancellara was.
for the classement. Fabian will be top 20 on classement, and if he wants, he can win that chrono. But I was not talking stage victory, I was talking GC ;)

thought it was implicit

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?

That was comic genius at its best.. Python could not have done better

Please tell me the BBC didn't sell the third series of `The Restaurant' round the world? Has it no shame?

Yes. I had the misfortune of wasting many hours watching it on BBC America. The only thing that kept me going was the expected pleasure of seeing those incompetent bamboozlers, James and J.J., closed down. I was not amused with the final result. Even I can make a risotto. At least I did not endure the added kick to the groin from knowing that I had paid for the series, unlike you poor SOBs and your TV tax.

Chill down, this thread is pure comedy gold.

Keep the photos coming guys, I've been laughing so much.
I'd hazard a guess that if it were Oddstralians winding up the Britishers then they might be more amenable but since it is Americanos they just can't take it and have gone all sooky.

It just goes to show that you can't always nationally stereotype when it comes to humour. It's amusing to see Brits striking a tone of discord in a humour thread. Unless their umbrage is feigned of course :D

Seems you and Brad have something in common!! From his Twitter.
"Having to watch BBC World due to lack of any other channels, what aload of crap!"

Actually, its a mistake to assume that just because someone is a Brit they automatically understand Monty Python.

Having lived there for a few years (I'm Australian incidentally) I can attest that most of them these days seem to lose focus beyond the witty banter of Simon Cowell.

They can't even do the Four Yorkshiremen anymore...

They WILL unfortunately still be uber patriotic in the face of simple truth. For instance, the blind belief that Brad is relaxed and cool rather than a pretentious prima donna or that he has a prayer of doing anything worthwhile in a real race this year (let alone the Tour).

Yes American's are very politically correct people. They had a go at us for doing an imitation of Michael jackson and they called us racists. Pot calling the kettle black! Americans are far worse in that point in comparison to aussies.

Back on topic, i think the brits on here have taken it quite well!

The Beeb deserves to be closed down for this! I suppose the only thing I can say is that Raymond Blanc is French, and half of the winning team was Australian so the British shouldn't get all the blame!
 
The hypersensitive Brit posts remind me of that Monty Python scene in a Roman theater...."Hate the Romans, hate the Romans...but what they ever give us?"

The law...

Roads...

Running water...

etcetera

Only now it should be framed differently: "Hate the Americans...but what they ever give us?"

Our liberty...well, that's true.

(I'm by no means being patriotic here, rather all is merely in the comedic spirit.)
 
Since we're being in the comedic spirit, I give you the over-the-top internet damsel-in-distress feather-spitting:

Is it true that the Americans gave the UK its liberty? I was under the impression that the Battle of Britain was won in 1940, before America even showed up. Thanks for taking the credit, though - since Americans, and not Poles and Britons working together, cracked the enigma code, and since Montgomery never killed fricking Ernst Rommel. Yup, if it weren't for America, the whole of Europe would have folded like a deck of cards, and Russia had nothing whatsoever to do with it. The French Resistance never happened, and the whole of Britain spent six years running around in circles going 'help us, help us, oh god help us' rather than, you know, shooting down German fighters and defending their tiny island to the hilt for two whole years before America even entered the war, after Germany was already marching on Russia after giving up on Britain.

Thank you, America! You saved the whole world! Well done! Would you like a cookie?
